I've always heard that the Tremecs were a little harder to shift anyway...especially TKO's....I've heard that instead of using cone synchronizers they use clutch packs....anyone know if this is true?

Also, on a side note...I've been going through several websites looking at different methods for checking concentricity. I know Lakewood recommends turning the crank through 1 complete rev, getting the total movement of the dial indicator (i.e. -.006 to .007 would be a total of .013") and then dividing by 2 to get the final runout...which in this case would be .0065".

Another website I found said to rotate the crank through 90 degrees, look at the dial indicator and see what it says, then mark the reading on the bellhousing itself, then repeat this every 90. The largest number is the one you wanna use.

Can someone shine some light on this subject....I wanna get this right the first time....because it's a pain in the butt. I had a Lakewood previously when I thought I was gonna use a TKO...I used the first method...found the total range and divided by 2. I think I got .005" when I divided by 2, and that happened to be within tolerance, so I didn't touch it. But now that I'm using a Toploader, I bought another bellhousing, and I wanna make sure it's right.
