Clutch tube mount
« on: May 27, 2010, 10:52:51 AM »
I picked up a factory rebuild swing axle tranny and the only differance I noticed was the clutch tube holder is not part of side plate. Should I use the side plate from my trans or try and find a bolt on bracket used on newer swing axles. Also where does the backup switch mount on this tranny. Thanks Thomas

You should get the bracket from a later gearbox.  I'm sure CIP sells it too.
You can't swap the side covers, that would alter the bearing preload, and the ring gear backlash.

Thanks for the info Bruce, the guy I got the tranny from dropped off a bracket for me. Cheers Thomas
