powerglide clutch clearances
I was wondering what clearances others were setting up their powerglides with ? I am running a 1.76 in a bbc dragster with a pro tree brake.
reverse: .090-.120" I set mine up with .110 with 6 frictions
High gear..... i believe stock drums with 5-6 frictions are about .012" per friction ....around .070"
Here is my main question:
When i freshend it up today, i changed to a aftermarket high gear drum that uses 10 frictions. Since the drum is so tall, the machined surface where the piston seals apply is only about .200" deep. I thought i should run the clutch clearances around .010" times 10 frictions, which is .100", but it doesnt look like the piston is going to travel more than .150" in the bottom of the drum max. The clutch drum came factory set up with .050" when i opened it. Is this going to smoke high gear when i am in low gear?
Thank you!
