Jereme6655 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 just take your time and do some reading before you try and jump in there and try and assemble it. also do a leakdown test before you go firing it up and melting down your motor...

gstaten24 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I'm definantly going to be clean and thorough, I already have some clean shop rags and I plan on buying some rubber gloves to ensure everything is clean. I also have some grease to make sure everything is lubed up before just starting it and plan on making me a leakdown tester tommorow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 not grease! when lubing tranny parts you should be using the fluid that your going to be running for assembly (such as ATF Type F). When dealing with your clutch you need to soak it in the same fluid that you're gonna be running because the clutch pack will actually expand a little when its wet. When your assembling your motor there's 2 choices. The first choice you don't hear about alot anymore and that's to use an actual assembly lube. Its specially designed and it will not harm anything in your motor. The second choice is to use whatever oil that your going to be running in your motor as an assembly lube. You don't want to just use straight grease.....unless your repacking seals lol. READ the clymers manual....it will tell you where to apply the lube for assembly and it will also give you suggestions on what to use. Also make sure you have EVERYTHING before you start. If you read the chapter first that your going to do on a certain day then you'll know in advance what parts you need so you don't get stuck in the middle of putting your cases back together or whatever.
