Tremac question

SMOKEDYA · Nov 4, 2006

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

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

FYI those steeda cable are Korea scrap. They tend to strecth on people.

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...
