Droppin the trans w/ long tubes
Hello,
So I'm going to be pullin the 3650 from the mach to replace the synchros etc. I'm running Mac long tubes and a prochamber. I know I have to pull the prochamber but would there be any issue with unbolting the trans from the bell housing, then unbolting the bellhousing? I know the TOB and the fork will be left behind but I'm going to put them back (prolly gunna replace the TOB and the pilot bearing while I'm down there and inspect the clutch. OR do you think if I unbolt the headers and just let them sit where they are I would be able to get the trans and bell housing out in one shot? I guess while I'm askin questions I read a link here Tremec 3650 Overview to fill the trans up with 3.2 quarts of AMS oil ATF AMSOIL - Synthetic Multi-Vehicle Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)
Anyone have any experiance w/ that oil? Do you like it? I did a lot of research and the reason the synchros go bad is because the when Ford chose to put the fluid in it chose (mercon V?) it had too high of a sulfur contact which caused premature wear and failure of the synchros. They chose to go with a fluid that was cheaper than what tremec had suggested they put in the transmissions. I've read other reviews from people swapping to the AMS ATF into the 3650 and having the shifting issues resolved.
Heres a pic of the NIB synchros I bought from a member on svtp for $200 shipped.
