Some issues with the transmission, question for Factory Tech
I sent an e-mail also.
I just had to get a rebuilt transmission because I blew a u-joint and broke my old trans in half. I now have a vibration that I think is related to too much movement in the output shaft bushings. It only gets bad at higher speeds (above 75) so the transmission rebuild shop will not replace the output shaft bushings unless it leaks or fails (75 being above the legal speed limit: like no one goes faster).
Do you make just the improved output shaft housing available? If so, how hard of an install is it?
I plan to install your separator plate since I think it will best address my driving style, smooth shifts at part throttle, a little more at WOT.
Any advice? I had to get this transmission fast because this is my daily driver. Now that I put out the money I have to keep it awhile.

Yes Factory Tech is in the works of building a upgraded extension housing( actuallly that will be my department)
It sounds to me that you may have a bent output shaft. The extension housing upgrade just sends force lubrication into the bushing area to prevent wear that is accociated with high driveline rpms.

Thanks dirtyd0g,
Will the upgraded housing include the output shaft installed?
How hard will it be to install? Is removal of the transmission required?
Also, I really miss my performance Torque converter so I will be discussing that with you soon. I will replace it when I install my new engine, probably not more then several months from now.
