Re: Ultramatic Rebuild for a '51
Posted by Troy Taylor On 2015/10/6 18:34:00
Larry,
When I am back in the shop this weekend, I will get you measurements, I have both new bands and clutches to measure.
I typically replace regardless on my rebuilds because I give a one year warranty.
Typically if you still have the wear lines in the bands, you will be good, if the lines have been worn smooth, replace.
I follow the same on the clutches.
you can get by without all the special tools. You will need a piston spring compressor to replace the Piston seal in the clutch pack.
You will need the torque converter backlash tool to insure the proper washer thickness
Most important with this series Ultramatic you will need a special Micrometer PU-308 to properly measure the front pump gap. It is almost impossible to do correctly without one.
There is one available on E-bay for $250, they make the job a snap.
IM me when your ready, I can get you hooked up on bands without having to worry about exchange.
Happy Rebuilding
