still working at this, kind of. Got real busy with life and other things but I'm ready to get this thing finished. I got 1st gear, the tailhouse and the main shaft down to my brother so he can bring to our machinist friend. I was going to cut everything myself, but with how busy I've been and the fact my lathe is too large to grab the ID of the gear, I'm just going to outsource the machine work.
Is this the groove to machine in the SSR shaft so it takes the z06 reverse syncro?
seems like it is..just want to make sure.

cool. I'm bringing both the vette shaft and the SSR to the machine shop so I can tell him to just match it up. He's good so I'm sure it will be fine.
I thought about it too, I'm going to need more snap rings correct? to lock down the tone ring for the VSS and what not?

The ssr 40 tooth will be fine. I'll fix it in efi live.
I also emailed TDP for the billet keys. I need to order those.
And I'm putting my order for the last bit of stuff from thegearbox today as well.
Trying to get the ball rolling to finish this thing.

Mike,
can you tell me anymore about your counter shaft tool?
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~davis/z28...DCP_%20067.jpg
I get that it threads into the countershaft. What is the point of the nuts and the shim? Do the nuts jam onto the countershaft to get a tight fit? shim rides in the mid plate? Would you have an in action picture?
also, should I check end play on both shafts before installing any gears? Seems like it would be easiest to check while everything is mostly empty...if that's possible.

I answered some of my own questions.
are the nuts to hold the spacer in place?
edit.
I just found this...

I'm confused again on what I need. I thought the threaded rod just pogo sticks in and out the mid plate so you can get a dial on it. the nuts and spacer confuse me.

Hand rotate the adapter plate races against the thinnest shim or zero shim so you know they're seated.
The case rear shims are static.
Shafts in, case on, measure away. Shim accordingly.
Bearing preload comes by your shimming, not while measuring end-play.
Mud? Clear? As?

I understand both shafts should have movement, and that I'll shim to not. I know the difference between endplay and preload.
Do you guys typically go to 0.000" endplay, or 0.002" preload? I've seen people use both..?
I guess I'm just going to have to get in there and go from there. But am I right that before I assemble gears onto the main shaft and such I can set all my clearances?
