I found that no one offered a dial indicator w/ magnetic base for rental. Hell, half of the counter-jockeys didn't even know what I dial indicator was. I had two different shops try to sell me a multimeter.

First I removed the front part of the tranny case.At this point you take the stock unit out and replace it with the 26 spline.
This is the stock unit compared to the 26 spline.
This is the bearing cup and the factory .032 shim removed from the front cover.
To remove the stock TOB Sleeve I just used a BFH.
A few smacks and out it came.
Stock sleeve next to the much stronger unit.
Used a big socket and my BFH to put the new sleeve in.
Put everything together with the factory .032 shim,,,this gave me about .0025 end play.This is too much so out came everything again.
I replaced the factory .032 shim with a .034 shim.
This put me right at about .0005,,,good enough.
Everything is ready to put back in the cobra,,,then I get to install my Long tubes epper:
it's just like a rear end. If you have it put together too tight it's going to sound like you're being chased by a fire truck. If you don't believe me go ahead and get it good and tight but make sure it still spins freely. As soon as your fluid gets warm and thins out...bring on the noise. I know because my old trans whined when i put it in too tight. I thought i could do it by "feel" and get it close enough. Didn't work had to go buy a magnetic dial indicator and do it right.
This is probably a dumb question, but I just want to cover my bases.
Is there any prep for the new input shaft prior to installation and tranny re-assembly? IE lube for the bearing?
