The tail housing can't be the issue since the output shaft is locked up right now and the tail housing isn't installed yet. The problem seems to be at the rear of the main case, with the bushing between the one way clutch and the fluid distributor. The case didn't seem worn and the bushings were all replaced, but the internals are otherwise stock.never noticed this thread. i will have to get to my note book. i have cracked a few cases with horror show results with these. they rock for 2wd drag racing though.
all the thrust goes to the rear...the selective kits and roller kits are worth the effort. maybe your housing is worn ...assuming your reusing the oem cage and thrust? stack up correct? springs right direction?
Stack up is correct according to the book I have, and as far as I can remember I never actually took the one-way apart. It was working, so I left it alone. The only thing I am not 100% sure of is that the high-reverse clutch is in the whole way. It looks like it can't go in any farther, but the fins on the shell don't sit the whole way into the slots on the drum below it which seems wrong.
