Question For Transmission Gurus

Post by ToughOldFord »

Do you prefer to use the prefamulated amaulite or is it better to famulate it afterwards?

Hi, if I were to build this assembly, I would assemble all the parts first in order after bead blasting the case & running it thru the spray wash.
I would then install the framus valve first and then align all the fitegan pin's so they are in order,with none protruding from the housing & then famulate the complete assembly...I think this would be the best way to achive the best working unit, plus it would look good..HTH..Donnie :lol:

Thank Donnie, I'm hoping that post-famulation won't clash with the panometric fam, but it should help the lunar wainshaft in preventing side-fumble. :wink:

I've heard that prefamulation is always to be preferred. If not done beforehand you must bead blast the unit prior to assembly which always leaves the possibility of failure due to microscopic bead particles that cannot be removed by hot tanking or spray washing. The amaulite is very sensitive to failure and the slightest particles of dirt during assembly determine it's longivity. The alignment of the fitegan pins won't be an issue if you do it this way.

Don't skimp on a good pefamulate and apply liberaly to all components as nessesary. Try not to get in on your skin and use a respirator.

It will be ok as long as the marzal vanes are lined up.

But of course, if the marzal vanes aren't lined up it provides no use in unilateral phase detraction!!

Anyone know if Rock Auto has non reversible Tremi-Pipes? The dealership shows they are NLA. :cry:

I know your frustration. I was faced with a similar problem. However, I was tipped off by a guy at a local shop who told me if I removed the trimi-pipe, which is routed very close to the dingle arm & girdle spring, I could just mount a hydrocoptic tube in its place --so long as it was secured with Milper trunions. He was right! It fit around the dingle arm & the girdle spring like a glove. The thing is virtually bullet-proof now! :wink:

It's actually a very simple fix. Just install this:

Of course this whole argument is completely hypothetical unless the mechanic practices routine rectal-cranial separation before begining this or any other such technical repairs. If they don't their glasses will fog up.
