my question is do you 'seal up 'the front cover then measure the end play ? or do you do it without the sealer ?
I did mine without the sealer.

i just thought the sealer might be .001 or so?
Bringing this one back again.
Just so I'm clear. Where exactly does the shim go?

glad to see this post i dropped tyhe clutch at 5k on 10.5 slicks last night and broke my 26spline shaft gonna replace myself. great right up.. life saver.,
You broke a 26 spline!?!?!?:uh oh: or was it the stock 10 spline you broke?

Just done this install on another members car. Really straightforward swap.
what is the tool you are using to determine endplay, and where may I acquire this tool?
It's a dial indicator. Sears has a relatively cheap one but they don't sell the base (locally anyway) so ebay or a tool magazine might be your best bet for a mount.

No you don't need to reshim for the TOB sleeve. I just got done doing mine and I realized that the shim doesnt rest against the sleeve, it rests on its own machined lip of the cover. The shim is a larger diameter than the big (pressed) end of the sleeve as is the bearing race which is what you are shimming. Therefore it is kind of silly to reshim for just a TOB sleeve swap.:thumbsup:

nice job when can you do mine! haha jk
what's the difference strength or quality-wise between the mc leod tb retainer sleeve and lethal's?
when checking the end play i put the front cover on and then the dial indicator and try to move the inputshaft back and forth?
Nice write up. This is on my future mods to do lists.
OK i have some questions. im in the middle of doing mine and my 10 spline snapped so i had no reference to how much play was there prior to me taken it apart. i took the race out and had a .034 shim there so i put it back together with the new shaft and had a TON of play side to side and in and out. so i started adding shims and i have in there now that comes out to .094 and now theres a TINY bit of play side to side and .003 when im pulling out on it. my questions are....
1. is it me or does this seem like a whole lot of shim to get it right i mean .094 seem to be alot to me after reading about some installs.
2. is there going to be play side to side?
just nervous on if this is correct don't want to finish it up just to pull it again.

1. it shouldn't need that many shims.
2, it set at .0005 end play at that you should have no side to side play,its going to be so tight .0005 is tight
am doing mine this week,,i do need to get a dail indecator. i also got to degree my cams in too ..habor frieght here i come
let you know how it turns out , doing it moday or tuesday.
so i found the problem the tremec shaft does not come with the race installed in the back of the shaft......:fm: so after the 3$ race put it in with factory .034 shim and what do ya know perfect :lol: good to go
so i am replacing the clutch this weekend. it already has a 26 spline. but i am replacing the tob sleeve. do i have to take the front of the tranny of for this? if so do i need tranny fluid and what else? thanks so much!
Yes, drain it completely. Pull the front cover out. Tap it out with a rubber mallet and tap it in with a large socket and a rubber mallet. Make sure you tap it in evenly.
