I'm not looking for a cheap replacement more of a better longer lasting solution. I've been wanting to use the torlon ***** but separator plate wears them out. Steel ***** wear out the separator plate. If you use the torlon ***** and these seats nothing wears out. Well, not as much.
The metal seats were designed for trans shops to use when they did not want to buy a new plate from the dealer. In most cases one or two seats would be very worn and this was cheaper than buying a plate. IMO a separator plate is pretty cheap and some torlon ***** fix the problem for the life of the transmission. If you want to use the seats have at it but I'm telling you that your over thinking it. That add is a sales pitch nothing more.

Thank you for the info. I've always been under the impression that the torlon ***** don't last as long because the sharp edges of the plate wear them down. I agree and can't see going through the trouble of putting in the seats. It would cost more in labor than to just replace the plate. So again thank you for the help and I am just going to go with a new plate and new torlon *****.
BTW Chris I'm pretty good with shafts to!LOL
