I removed the transmission from the frame so the lower transmission mount can be repaired, their was no problem removing the trans the stud shafts for the axles even came out easily and were well lubricated, the splines are in great shape.
I will come back and edit this post and add pictures.
Once out I took the trans apart I wanted to see inside and do a full inspection, nothing abnormal found inside, I cleaned up all the parts but did not scrutinize them at this time just a quick look I will look them over in great detial before reinstalling, I wanted to focus on the torque clutch pack measurements and doing the weld repair on the cases first.
The torque clutch parts measured up as follows.
Fiber plates are.
.1025
.1025
.1030
Metal plates are .
.054
.054
.054
.054
Spring free length is.
1.021
1.021
1.024
1.022
Updates later.
EDITED.
After the weld repair I inspected all the parts again in the trans and gave it a final cleaning, I double checked all the plate and spring measurements and have to admit I am confused as the 4 metal plates measure .054 thick manual says they should be 0.099 to 0.0106 thick, makes no sense at all to me if you look close at the metal plates you can see some wear on them but it amounts to smoothing the plates out, meaning they are stamped steel plates then have a coating on them like nickel or something (maybe not plated but sure look like it to me) and the plating or coating on the plates has all the high spots worn off like they are really not even broken in yet, by no means do they look like they have .045 + wear on them EVEN the end plates that only wear on one side (only make contact with the fiber clutch on one side) does not look like the coating is worn any more than either side of the other plates that make contact with the fibers on both sides.
Regardless I reinstalled the plates, if and when we come up with replacement steel plates I will order some and change them out, nothing inside the trans told me I should not use them again, when I get caught up on my work I will pull the trans out of that parts Pilot I bought in Las Vegas and go through it and measure the steels in that trans too, I want that trans to be ready to install and use as well.
I replaced the input and both output shaft seals while I had the trans apart, ALL of the seals looked great to me but since I had all the seals changed them anyways, I did not see anything wrong with any of the bearings so reused them.
The splines on the final shaft look good as new
HEY adnoh what are your thoughts on the steel plate thickness?
