Turbo 616 powered Astro Van build
ok, very tiring day, but got a lot accomplished-
First, dropped the subframe with the 616 and T5 on it-
Removed the T5 and exposed a couple issues I wanted to resolve-
Here is what the adapter looked like after I think 8k on it (guesstimate)
Once again im having an issue with the pilot bearing, as you can see here, the bearing adapter is clearly spinning in the bore-
I think most of my issue has been that this adapter was made for the NV3500 and family of gearboxes, and this T5 must have a different depth spline, which has been a fairly annoying issue, if you recall I dropped the transmission 3 separate times screwing with this issue.
Have that resolved finally I think though.
So here is the 617 and the removed 616-
here is the back of the 617, and the adapter installed and painted this time-
