Good enough for me. Looks like I stick to the old bronze ones. Thanks Pat. Don

Thanks, Pat - you've convinced me too! Chris

thank you that helps

Not sure of the application your needing but the Mustang/Cougar car C6's used about a 14" tailshaft. I can crawl under the car and measure one if needed. Most were aluminum cases but some high performance cars had the cast iron tailshaft case. I understand the 70's pickup truck C6's also had a cast iron tailshaft but were slightly shorter in length. I never had one here to compare to say for certain. I also don't...

Anybody replace the speedometer gear housing on a 700R4 lately? I broke the PLASTIC threaded 7/8" male end while installing a pulse generator.

solid bronze work very good and there cheap .roller s can be hard to start in the crank and driving then in can be hard on them. they are not oilite bronze that has oil in it so it never will dry out in turn to dust like the roller can.if theres any run out the bronze will take more of the load. then rollers will .this is how i see it any ways i just put a roller in a engine customer wanted it .just to take it back out to put a bronze one in...

You can leave the band out,but keep the servo shaft in,(you won't have any braking when you downshift without the band or piston). I've built several this way,without any problems,although you make want it in for street use. Brian

got the manual shift valve body for my thm350, In the instructions i remove the inter mediate servo piston assembly and discard. then plug the hole for the apply shaft. also i plug the 2nd gear accumulator passage. Sounds like the band becomes a piece of flotsam, i am rebuilding the trans can i just leave the band out? I sure do not like the idea of it just rattling around in there.

FFR pretty well nailed it..Not much else to say except FE C6s are still around.
