Well tonight I started to pull my motor to check things out, when unbolting the trans, I noticed a nice long crack in the bell housing. :rant: Now my delema is A) do I just get another case and transplant all the componets, or B) go with a Ultra Bell. I currently am using a CSR Supershield with the stock case, I need to know if the supershield will fit over the Ultra Bell, or will I need to get a blanket and not use the shield........anybodyo No: o No:
I just went with the Ultra-Bell on my new combo. I think JR uses the sheild on his with the Ultra-Bell. I have a case with the extra bolt webbing if you just want to swap the innards.
That ultrabell is ultracool. Is there a website for it? Price? Do you chop off the existing bell, machining it off?
I just got mine from Summit. It was $239. Then I just cut off the Bellhousing with my super sawzall. :TU:
I found this article. I don't believe that you don't need to remove the pump. http://www.banningcohen.com/buick/th400/index.htm
Good article. Thanks for posting that. Just to clarify, do you mean that you "...don't believe that you need to remove the pump..."? I didn't think pump removal was necessary. Thanks, K
According to the article, 3 ears need to be ground down. I guess you could do that while the pump is still installed. I myself will be rebuilding the transmission and installing a 4x4 output shaft and extension housing, so I can strip down the case for removal of existing bell. Thanks for the article on how to do it.
thats kinda cool.:TU: im sure they make them for other trannys. it would be good for adapting trannys to different make vehicles:beers2:
