    TH350 Rebuild Questions

    Thanks for this! So I think the kit I'm getting has the wider bushing.. I did see a youtube video of the guy driving in that bushing and he went juuuust a little too far with it but caught himself before having to do gymnastics on it! I'm not really wanting the chirp shifting so will keep some...

    TH350 Rebuild Questions

    Much appreciated gents! The rebuild kit is supposed to show up on Monday... I do plan on going the dual feed route, 5 clutches, drill the holes and I ordered a hardened intermediate sprag as well...seemed like those mods would serve the trans well for not a whole lotta $$?!

    TH350 Rebuild Questions

    Hey All! I'm going to take the plunge and rebuild my TH350 that's in the truck...and while I have that out might as well do the transfer case...and while that's out might as well replace all the u-joints, haha.. I've rebuilt a transfer case before but never a transmission and it looks...

    Rebuilt $350 long block questions

    Quick update... The credit card company credited my card back pending any response from the merchant... a friend who used to work for a dealership said what they did was so far outside any known industry standard they probably won't respond... I was thinking again today, I put down a $1000...

    TH350C been sitting a few years

    Know that drill...went in the Marines at 17 to get away from some shit...Gulf war ended 3 days before I left bootcamp and I ended up in Hawaii in an anti-terrorism detachment responsible for securing compounds and "special" weapon security... nobody really knew what terrorism really meant in...

    I guess OJ got wind of that and prompted him to make a run for it in his own Bronco eh? haha

    TH350C been sitting a few years

    Hmmm.....you are probably correct that there was an ever so slight design change somewhere in the woodpile that will work on some and not on others...either that or the people who say you CAN dual feed it have no idea their converter never locked up, haha!

    TH350C been sitting a few years

    I was googling around to see if anyone had any success on being able to dual feed a 350c and ran across this post on another forum: The 350c can be dual fed but not thru the transfer plate as is done with a standard 350 because the auxilary valve body is in its place. Plug reverse passage in...

    TH350C been sitting a few years

    So taking off about 1/8th of an inch? It's a cast aluminum part so I should be able to set up a jig and a carbide tip router would make short work of it I would think? Also, makes perfect sense on the TC...it's probably like the washing machine when it gets out of balance and starts banging...

    TH350C been sitting a few years

    Another question, what is the best way to have the piston cut down for 5 clutches...someone said a brake lathe but if I show up at a brake shop and ask them to cut down the piston are they going to know what I'm even talking about?!

    TH350C been sitting a few years

    Thanks again for the info! I think my transmission is going full on mission creep status...while the engine is out might as well go through tranny, while doing that might as well rebuild, while doing that might as well do a couple of the common performance upgrades, etc.. Been doing a bit of...

    TH350C been sitting a few years

    I actually just got pinged there was a new reply to this thread (I didn't get any previously)...no hi jack at all because I was reading the replies and thinking yeah, it probably makes sense at this point to rebuild the trans while the engine is out (I have a couple of issues there I need to...

    Help with Calipers

    I see this is a 2 year old thread but I too have the same question! I have rebuilt my brakes with the JB7 calipers up front (coming from the JB5) and left the stock drums the same. I am looking at my master cylinder right now and the rancid fluid in it and saying to myself why did I think I...

    Rebuilt $350 long block questions

    That was my argument from the beginning with them! How could you possibly not know a block was so severely jacked up that it needed to go from a std bore to .060 over with 2 sleeves before you even started moving it over to the boring machine. And I'm pretty damn sure that wasn't even the...

    Rebuilt $350 long block questions

    That is becoming more likely the more pieces I put together on this...I actually thought I took a picture of the block and head casting #'s but can't find them to compare, damn it! Of course the one picture I need I can't find!!

    Rebuilt $350 long block questions

    I think you are right that I owe it to other consumers to report it to the regulating authority... which I absolutely hate involving the government in anything... It gets kind of messy asking for all my parts back because essentially they are all sitting on an engine stand in front of me..aside...

    Definitely one of those life lessons I learned! I have two theories on what happened, one being I didn't get back what I dropped off.

    Thanks K5, Yeah...I think the BAR route is definitely the hammer if this doesn't get resolved via the credit card dispute route...I posted the one and only written invoice I received earlier in the thread..it was 3 or 4 lines...no written estimate. Retrospectively it does seem odd that a BAR...

    Rebuilt $350 long block questions

    The block was an 010 casting from 1971.. I didn't take pics of the deck # before drop off but the casting # is the same. You are just as confused as I am..it went from a std bore to .060 over PLUS 2 sleeves..not being a professional machinist I'm not sure how that happens as if you needed to...

    I think I just drew the short straw on this one... the shop has been around a while and has overall good ratings on google and yelp... peculiar thing is I just looked at yelp and saw a review posted 3/19/2021 from someone who had a similar experience I did!! I'm wondering if someone new took...

    Thanks my man... I really dislike anyone taking advantage of someone for any given reason. I'm one of those guys who doesn't mind paying for a quality product as I suspect almost 99% of the members of this forum are, which I love. However, in this particular case I'm seeing that some shops are...

    Hey all, sorry for the late reply... I wasn't getting email notifications on the thread! As of right now I have disputed the charges with the credit card company and they said they are going to mail me something of a questionaire that I need to respond to in the next week or so. I only spoke...

    Cleaning differential

    Thanks for the replies! I was wondering the same thing, how a washer would just "appear" in the diff. I'm almost thinking someone was working on the diff and put it in the case to use and forgot about it and went and got another one? And yes Reckless, I have been worried for a while, haha...

    Cleaning differential

    Hey All, I went to go change the oil in my differentials today. the front one looked ok except the fluid seemed pretty dark and there was some sludge on the bottom of the pumpkin I scraped out...the rear one actually started draining what looked like normal fluid then it became a thick almost...

    Rebuilt $350 long block questions

    I guess that is one way to look at it... and that is the perspective I had walking out paying $800 more than I previously agreed.. But what I REALLY don't like is not being given the information to make a decision especially when someone is going to spend my money. I already had the discussion...
