Re: Blue's Barracuda

the outlet window to the block should open
some pumps have a situation where both are closed together for a period of time and the impeller and ring are trying to compress incompressible oil

Re: A833 rebuild

badly adjusted neutral position most likely, something has moved linkage wise over years of use
or something like the shift levers inside the box bent are very very worn.

ok if it has a hurst style shifter base ...

Re: A833 rebuild

No probs
there are options there if you want to spend a bit of $$$

based on what you say doesn't sound like a pressure plate issue

In neutral
the input shaft and clutch spin with the motor, clutch is doing its job, you are just not in any gear, every gear in the gearbox is spinning, just nothing ...

tremec TKX good for upto 600 ftlb or torque.

they take a standard tkx
they remove the standard rear mount shifter, mill the rear shifter housing down flat with the ...

Re: Australian starter motors

yes looks like the "experimental" 25 mm 9 tooth pinion i extracted out of WOSP 5-10 years ago actually became a product.
