W58 Transmission rebuild part question/issue
Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2017 5:22 am
Has anyone here had experience rebuilding a W58?
So far everything is going fairly smoothly but I ran into an issue with the number 3 clutch hub. While removing the hub I bent the plate attached to the back of the hub. It's basically made into/onto the hub but I'm not sure what purpose it serves. I'm wondering if it has to be shaped perfectly for a particular reason. I did notice that sandwiched between the plate and clutch hub there is a ring like I have seen before on other clutch hubs but I just don't see it's purpose here. I will try to get some better pics up tonight.
Also in the diagram the shape/sizing of the clutch looks a little different and you can't really see the plate. I was hoping maybe I can buy this plate separate but I doubt it.
