While replacing the Clutch we found while changing the filter in the over drive pan, bearing and a lot of deposits in the pan. Does any one have a diagram of the working and where to get parts for it? Over drive works great???

Does anyone know where to buy a rebuilt over drive

Looking for a rebuilt bearings

4+3 Rebuild.odt Size: 24.08 KB; Hits: 546

Anybody delt with SK speed before. They carry the 4+3 over drive for $1400 rebuilt. Also looking at a friends transmisson shop in town he is looking for parts to rebuild. SK Speed says they also carry all the parts to do the job.

Would apperaciate any help
Thanks

I have bought hard and soft parts for the 4+3 from sk speed. No problems though hard parts are expensive. I had to buy a planet carrier as mine had a bad bearing. No bearings were available at that time for that component anywhere. Some items are not available new anymore. Give them a call. They pretty much as far as I know, the only game in town with parts for that overdrive unit.

Thanks we ar working on them right now. We will proably go with the rebuilt. My partner at the shop thinks I am nuts. I like my new toy. They claim they have all parts right now. We found needle bearings in the pan. This was replaced in 2001 the other owner never changed the fluid or the filter. It was replaced with the origional Bearings. Supperised it lasted this long. I will just wait for christmas to paint it.

It sounds like yours has the problem the one I rebuilt had. Planet carrier bearing damaged. Mine left tiny needle bearing in the pan. Price it out just in case before you tear it down to make sure you can even get the parts nowadays. Im thinking the exchange is sounding better by the second.

We should have our answer tomorrow. My buddy that has the shop we are putting it together in, is waiting to see the discount. He keeps me from blowing all my cash.

I just want to drive it from California to visit my daughter in Albuquerque at the Air Force Base. Might give this car to my grand soon for his 16th birthday.

Milsurpman You were right on the bearings. For the over drive. Pickes up another unit for $200 used will check it out and rebuild it for a spare.

Well runs great now. Pedal is were it should be. The guy at SK speed told me of some after market needle bearing for the over drive. With the brand new flywheel it is better than new. Teo different Shops including SK Speed told me it was best to shim the flywheel or save time and put in an OME new flywheel for some reason the corvette and camarrow had simular problems. First time In fourty years I have run into this. I will in time Everything is new clutch kit. hydrolics so if this one last 6 months I will become a beleiver.
Still loking for Transmission plugd that aren't melted

If any one wants a flywheel let me know maybe we can swap out for something

I must reiterate in this post the existence of the TKO 5spd conversion kits.

Not cheap, but they are nice... and parts are available. As stated, the 4+3 and OD units are getting dicey on parts availability.

Something to consider... a TKO 5spd is about $3k. Think about that before doing the $1400 OD unit swap.

I totally agree with you I was looking at Keisler TKO500 (500HP) in Corvette Central $3295.00 without shipping. Really lucky to get parts. Had no Idea they would not be out there some ware. The overdrive alone rebuilt from SK Speed was going to be $1400/$60 shiping / $200 deposit

84-88 5 speed corvette central
