Ok can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong? I have a 64 chevelle with a 383, 4 speed, and 3.73 gears. it seems that I have trans problems more often then I should. I put a new center force clutch, presure plate, throw out bearing on it abouta year ago. first I had a problem with the throw out bearing. replaced that then the trans had a bad gear. had the replaced. just a couple of weeks ago It started to make a nosie, pulled the trans found the throw out bearing bad, also the front bearing on the trans was bad. replace those items amd now a week later there is a noise in it. pulled the trans and find that it has a gear with two broken teeth. why am I having so much trouble with this trans am I missing somthing? could it be that the trans is not centered in the bell housing? (lakewood blow proof) it also has a roller bearing for the pilot. should I change that? help im getting tired of pulling this trans! thanks in advance for any info

In a pressed fit ZERO tolerance situation like the dowels not wanting to come out. I take a torch and heat till it just turns orange, and grab real good with some vice grips and it should come right out. You can try some penetrating oil first. But that rarely works on this type of stuff.
