Hoping to get a few answers..as I have tried to piece together info from several threads.
I have a 1987 555 tranny. Also have intermediate shaft and ring gear from (what i was told) 1987 520 3.50 ratio.
Upon putting it together, the gears don't stack up the same. The 2 shafts have splines of different widths and C-clip grooves don't match up on the 520 shafts as they did on the 555 shaft. Is this normal??
Looking to buy an OBX and not sure if a new unit needs the bevel washers or not?? Anyone know?
Also, if I read correctly the OBX spacer plate is only for the 413 auto...Not a 555??
Can the OBX be installed in the 555 tranny with the 3.87 ratio...Without having to go with the 3.50 from the 520??
Lastly...Where can I get a new 2nd gear from?? Mine from the 555 appears to have quite a bit of wear and I need a new or good used one??
Hope this thread gets all the info into one thread. I have read 3 different boards about about 500+ threads on this topic and nothing concrete seems to pan out to what I am seeing on the bench.
Also, trying to get a hold of Cliff mopartek@***.com...I heard he is busy with a shop move. Maybe he will see this thread and chime in. Would like to talk with him for a few on the phone....Or anyone that has done these hybrids.
Thanks.
