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

Just got done aligning my bellhousing and I can tell you that it can be a real pita, but its done right and I know I won't have to wonder about it later. The tolerance is .005". If you still have the directions for the centerforce - they show how to measure and give the tolerances. It also tells you to take a second measurement straight down towards the face of the bellhousing. The tolerance there is .002 . I had no problem punching out the old pins from the back - they come right out. Getting the new ones in and set properly is a different story. If you need offset pins I have a set of .014 offset you can have if thats what you need. I guessed wrong on the first set and had to buy .007 offsets.
