Re: [Chevelle-List] Tremec into a '66/'67?
I did a little researchregardingthe torque ratings for manual transmissions. Apparently,the torque rating is based on a "static" test, meaning torque is applied to a non-spinning transmission to determine how much it can take before something breaks. Naturally that breakage point will be higher than the ratings that are published. If I remember correctly, the Richmond 6 is rated at 450lbs. According to Dyno 2000, my 454 makes 480lbs+ throughout its RPM range. Since I only have 10" wide wheels with 285 size tires,I doubt I'll ever get enough traction to worry about the torque capacity of the tranny. Besides, most Muncie's are rated around 200-250lbs and they've survived behind lots of big blocks over the years. cYa- Herb Lumpp1966 El CaminoACES #3509http://web.tampabay.rr.com/herbsworld/index.htm
[Chevelle-List] Manual Trans torque specs; Tremec vs Richmond
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List The Tremec TKO is advertised to handle 525 ft lbs. The Tremec 3550 is advertised to handle 425 ft lbs. See http://www.fortesparts.com/tremec/tr3550-2.html The Richmond Street 5 speed is rated at 450 ft lb. Just last year it was 425 ft lb, FWIW. They don't give torque specs for their other transmissions, unless I overlooked them. See http://www.richmondgear.com/ My guess is that they both handle way more torque. The old muncies have held up for years behind big blocks, and are rated much lower. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Before anyone goes too far: how much torque is the Richmond capable of handling?

[Chevelle-List] auto transmission question
The torque convertor has two slot which slide onto two metal tabs, these tabs are broken off. I was replacing the front transmission seal in my 1971 Chevelle automatic and found the two metal tab pieces sitting there. What function do these tabs serve? Do theydrive an oil pump or something? Are these indexing tabs? Help? I wanted to start the car today but now have this new problem. Keith [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [Chevelle-List] auto transmission question
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List The tabs allow the torque converter to drive the pump in the transmission. If they're broken off the pump won't work and, needless to say, neither will the transmission. If the notches in the torque converter aren't lined up with the tabs in the pump when the trans is bolted to the engine they will be broken from the pressure of trying to bolt everything together..I won't go into how I learned this the hard way a long time ago. I wish I had better news for you. Bill Vander Werf Keith Cooper wrote: The torque convertor has two slot which slide onto two metal tabs, these tabs are broken off.

You should deffinatly not try to run it or you might also smoke the clutches because there is no fresh fluid being pumped through.

Re: [Chevelle-List] auto transmission question
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Thanks for the information. Yes I did break the tabs during the first installation of the transmission. Yes the tabs drive the oil pump for the tranny. When installing the transmisson, it was not bolting up right, so we pulled it back and turn the torque converter and it fell inside the tabs. I drove the car home with no problems, other than the camshaft going out (two exhaust lobes wiped out). I was reinstalling the front seal because it was leaking when I saw that the tabs were broken. I am not sure when the tabs broke, could I felt the converter slip down into the tabs, but they did break. So there it is, I made a big mistake. I cost me $40.00 to get fixed at a transmisson place in Daytona Beach here. Thanks for all the information on this problem and all the other help and advise this group has given me. Hope I one day I will get all the problem fixed and I can drive this car. - Original Message - From: Sean Martinez [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2001 1:54 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] auto transmission question Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Kieth, those tabs drive the front pump providing the pressure to the entire trans.
