QUOTE(zipstrips @ Oct 20, 2005 - 6:34 AM) im not sure where or how the carrier bearing is hooked up or used! thanks! [right][snapback]346825[/snapback][/right] The bracket is two pieces. One piece bolts to the block with three bolts the other is pressed onto the carrier bearing and is bolted to the other half of the bracket using two bolts. I've got the axels in my garage along with the 3S on a stand so I'll bolt it up tonight for you and take a pic if no one else has one handy. --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |

Checked it out on my lunch break. The carrier bearing bracket from the s54 axels only lined up with two holes on the 3S block. One where the intake manifold support was and the other directly below. The third hole on the bracket had nothing to bolt to. Is that normal?
Also, the intermediate shaft that goes into the transmission seems awfuly close to the block. I'll have pictures this evening. The wife likes to leave dead batteries in the camera so they've gotta charge for a bit. -------------------- Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |
