So I'm into rebuilding the trans in my 4500 SOS and I have a few question hopefully someone else on here has been into one of these things.
I found the problem which prompted the rebuild. The outer seal on the DDC piston was pretty much gone. The old seal that was partially left is some kind of rubber. The new seal I got is made out of steel like a std. piston ring, an obvious improvement.
My question is, should I disassemble the other three clutches and replace the piston seals? Does anyone know if they were steel fro the get go? I wasn't having any problems with these clutches and If I don't need to take them apart that would be much better.
I don't know if its a normal thing, But I had to destroy the pressure plate and the top clutch plates to get the DDC apart. There was no way the cluth pack was going to slide out.
One more thing, Does anyone know where I can get the N-488 Belleville spring compressor?
Thanks,
Jim
