Texasdoc Tom Call Tremac and ask thm or the guys who sell trannies here for the correct way to breakin and maintain the trans. You don't want to VOID the warrantty if there is a machining problem. Fill the trans any way you like as long as you don't over fill it and cause leaks from the front or rear seals.
Find it hard to believe that with all the GREAT people in TEXAS someone wouldn't give you a hand with assembling the car. A couple of evenings, beer and a couple of steaks, they will be banging on the door.
Have been told that Quicktime belhousings are very centered on the back of motors ad require little to no adjustment of the pins to center.
Here a side note, over the years of building motors have found that some crankshafts have no grooves where the RMS is and some do. Doesn't matter if the motor calls for a rope seal or plastic one. I tryed a couple of times to sealup the rearmain seal area on the shelby block. After 10-20 heat cycles the leak returned. It's small, just a couple of drops. It has not kept me off the track or failed inspection. The motor being an aluminum block has a larger exspansion ratio than cast iron. The
oil have no effected my twin disc clutch setup. I do run 1 quart of
oil more than called for and this didn't change the leaking issue. Ran 7 to start and leaked, then ran 8 and still does the same.
Put the car back togeather, break in the trans and go drive or trailer it to the track and enjoy it Passenger is just not the same thing. Even bring the car and not track it and cruise for chicks??
I'm sure you are married with children, or girlfriend.
Just a thought. Rick L.
