My engine and transmission are currently out and I had the flywheel resurfaced, installed a new clutch disc and replaced the main shaft seal in hopes of solving my slippage issues once and for all.
My current question is should I remove the transmission nose cone to have a peek inside just to see if anything needs attention? Not sure if that would be considered a standard maintenance practice?
I should also mention that while I had the mated engine and tranny on the platform I built to move it around, which is about 6 inches off the ground, the tranny side being slightly unbalanced tipped back and hit the concrete. I was able to partially slow it down, but it did hit the floor with a slight impact. It landed on the bottom of the tranny case at the nose cone seam. Don't know if that would in itself be cause for concern, but thought it worth mentioning. Or, maybe for that reason alone I should have a look inside? _________________ '78 Westy - 2.0 FI |

There's no better time than now to look at the condition of the donut in there as well as the bushings, sector bracket and the surface the mainshaft bearing rides against. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

Does endplay need to be checked anytime the flywheel is removed?
As a side note, this engine was rebuilt by Headflow Masters about 1,000 miles ago if that matters. _________________ '78 Westy - 2.0 FI |

1,000 miles no. Just make sure you put all the shims back in. |
