SB DD clutch w/Getrag trans help.

[DBraunig]

Hey,



Some of you 1st gen pullers are running a SB DD with the Getrag trans. We are having some issues with the release fork actually hitting the pressure plate when the clutch/bellhousing are installed? has anyone had this trouble already and what did you do? SB said we need to use the OE shift fork, which we are, but something is wrong, this fork is tight/pushing on the pressure plate. this truck is a 93 p-pump conversion with the Getrag/driveline.



any help is appreciated,



Thanks, Dave

Off hand, I'd say you have a mismatch on the flywheel. IIRC, there is a difference in the flywheels used for the G360 and NV transmissions. Not positive but that is what is floating to the top right away.

any way to visibly see the difference in the two? or some known measuremants that can be checked?

Just for the record... when we did the NV 4500 conversion on my '93 last month, we retained the original flywheel.

I think we got something figured out. Give us a call this morning.

SBC has this all worked out now, Big thanks to Peter and Manseil for taking care of it so quickly. Sent parts fast, no charge, no freight... ... the same service we have all gotten used to from SBC Oo.

Peter built a custom fork for it, the new plate is larger so it required him to rework the fork a little.
