Tremac question

[SMOKEDYA]

Hey i have a tremac in the 93. It's very hard to hit 1st to 2nd, i am using a center force dual friction clutch. Here are a couple pics of the clutch and fly wheel from when i did some work last winter. Do you guy's think it's time for a clutch or to tear into the tranny to see whats going on? I use GM syncromesh tranny fluid witch is recomended by tremac themself.

There were T5's marked Tremec, because the same company made them. The T5's still used Dextron/Mercon ATF.

The 3550 is a different animal, and uses the GM Syncromesh
here's a picture of the 3550/TKO trans...

Which tremec is it?? The 3550??

The 3550 takes synchromech, but the T-5 takes ATF

 

[SMOKEDYA]

It is the TKO not the t5 one. peace

Do you have a firewall adjuster for the clutch or a stock one?

hope you resurfaced that flywheel before you put it together, because the one in the picture don't look so hot.

If you are having problems with engagement then I would look to the clutch cable adjustment, pressure plate fingers, and/or bearing retainer - before breaking into the trans. Can you post pics of the fingers and retainer?

I did put it back in with that fly wheel it was mated to it and i was told it should be fine? I'm having problems with hitting 1st to 2nd. It dosent feel like it wants to go in gearunless you granny shift it? I have an adjustable firewall adjuster quadrant and steeda slick cable.peace

There are plenty of aftermarket choices out there. UPR, ford racing even summit has a cable. If you already have a firewall adjuster the stock non adjustable will even work fine.

Me personally, run a Micro-click kit with the stock non adjustable cable.

When I talked to Steeda about their cable, they told me that they supply FRPP with theirs. So if the Steeda one is Korean crap...
