    Turbo 350 Build

    Have you got it done now? YES Does or did it feel like it's hitting something solid? YES Could be the seal rings on the pump. Be sure to put lots of lube on them so they slide nicely into the opening of the drum / I did not put lub you MIGHT be right. How about the bushings on the pump or in the...

    Sprags for TH350 low roller clutch

    So did you noticed on the case saver you have removed that the sprag were the stock one or the wider from TH 700 ? in the case of using stock one, there is a clearance and the sprag can move from rear to front in the assembly by something like 0.1', thus might be explaining broken tabs ...
