Hey guys,
I'm running into an issue with the input shaft to pilot bearing engagement depth. I'm using the G96.50 which is identical (AFAIK) to all G50 variants in the bell housing/clutch interface measurements. So I'm sure many others have dealt with what I'm noticing here.
The issue is I'm only getting 0.196" of engagement. The tip of the trans input shaft is beveled of course so when subtracting the bevel section (0.078") I'm left with 0.118" of actual contact between pilot bearing and input shaft. I don't feel comfortable with that number. What have others done to remedy this? At this point I'm thinking of shimming the back of the pilot bearing by about 1/4" to move pilot/adapter forward.
Below is my math for arriving at the above figure if anybody cares to double check it.
Trans input shaft protrusion beyond bellhousing face = 0.278"
Input shaft bevel = 0.078"
RCR adapter face (main) to bottom of crank (pilot receiver) = 0.696"
*above does not include radius cut inside crank and basically measures as far back as the pilot/adapter will seat itself
RCR adapter extrusion depth (trans mounting surface) = 0.093"
RCR adapter extrusion face to bottom of crank = 0.603"
Kennedy pilot/adapter thickness = 0.521"
RCR Adapter trans mounting face to start of pilot = 0.082"
Input shaft engagement = 0.196"
Input shaft engagement minus bevel = 0.118"
I calculated engagement as:
Trans input shaft protrusion minus RCR Adapter trans mounting face to start of pilot
