I have a lot invested in this AA setup but I’m starting to wonder if there’s an easier way to mount the SM465 to the 3 speed case.

I just saw a post it note from where I ordered some stuff from AA and asked about that bearing. The guy said to get an off the shelf 6307 bearing. He said to mount with the spring facing the transmission. I bought a replacement bearing at Grainger (the one earlier in this thread) but I was wondering what the AA guy was saying about mounting with the spring facing the transmission. He was talking about the seal and I think the seal is a 6307. He was saying that seal should beYour right it may be different with the AA kit. With it installed the way they said that would keep the gear oil in the transmission,, but with the AA kit you want the oil to stay in the tcase
you still need to figure out what the original role of the seal was in the Toyota stock application
Was it to keep oil in tranny or to keep oil in tcase. , where in your application you want it to keep the oil in the tcase not on the ground lol maybe that spud shaft is worn out and wobbles and destroys the seal. U could also just order up the newer style spud shaft ,, too. ,, probably don’t want to spend the cash right now.
How tight is the spud shaft coupler on the splines ? Is it a pretty good fit?
Just pondering what cause that seal to get destroyed. Cheers
Man, I’m blind as a bat! Here it is tight in that channel on the seal!The spring is usually part of the seal. If your seal doesn’t have it it may not need it.
Otherwise you will have to order another seal. Like form Toyota or a different brand. Did you look inside your seal ,looking gently ,
the spring may be inside there ,, you may have just missed it. It is part of the seal you can’t buy it separate
I can be a little dense sometimes. Ha ha!There ya go. Found it. Haha
Ha ha! Will do. I need it to stay in the case and the tranny. Red RTV on the gasket?Nice silicon up the gasket ,maybe it will help keep it n the adapter housing instead of leaking on the Ground,, hehe
Whew! You had me worried! The one that was on there was not low profile like the one you have. This is what I took off and it was working fine before I started this swap. I think I should be good to go.I usually use one that looks like this. What did your old pressure plate look like?
Flat fingers. Short throw ,quick ratio

[/ICODE]Had to cut out that section of exhaust. Looks like I’m gonna have to cut it back even further.
Got my brother to help me today and got a lot done. We loaded the SM465 and bellhousing in from the top using an engine hoist. We set up the transmission jack below for it to be secured to once we had it in from the top. It took a lot of moving it up and down and back and forth but finally got the input shaft to line up with the clutch. Used some longer bolts to pull the bellhousing to the block then used the regular sized bolts (3/8-16 1.5) to secure the bellhousing to the block. I have the transfer case underneath to see how it’s going to fit. It looks like the exhaust is going to have to be cut more back there.

Here’s where the rest of the exhaust is getting in the way of the transfer case.Had to cut out that section of exhaust. Looks like I’m gonna have to cut it back even further.
