Flywheel cover doesn't fit
I I have a Chevy Turbo 400 modulator is in the back of transmission and transmission pan is the shape of 400 pan. I bought aluminum one about 5 years ago and the holes don't line up the holes the holes close to the transmission is 10 inches Center to Center and I took the cover to jegs and the one the had came up the same measurement of the one I have so it doesn't fit either and there is no spacer adapter on the transmission the bellhousing is a direct bolt-on to the motor has anybody else ran into this problem did one or two years of the Turbo 400 have a larger flywheel pan bolt pattern. My truck is coming along but it seems like I take one step forward two steps back. The top holes are about 1/2 inches off needs to be longer. Thanks Doug

Re: Flywheel cover doesn't fit
So, your modulator is on the side like a turbo 400.
I found a designation for a 3L80 tranny of 1990 and up vintage. Perhaps the tranny is from a hd motor. Does the cover you have fit except for the bolt holes? |

Re: Flywheel cover doesn't fit
Yes, it fits. The Cover just needs to be a like 3/8 longer or so

Re: Flywheel cover doesn't fit
Which holes aren't close?
Are you adverse to drilling and tapping new holes. |

Re: Flywheel cover doesn't fit
There are at least 2 different T-400 flywheel dust covers.
1 for the small block engines and 1 for the bigblock engines. Do you have a big block engine? The difference in the covers is where it goes on the rear main of the oil pan. A smallblock cover on a big block will be about 3/8" too short to fit right. May be you're problem. Mike. |
