Hello, ive got a 300m input shaft from cpt installed it into the overdrive planet carrier with the snap ring and it drops down way too far to the point that it grabbed the splines on the od ring gear (about .200 between the snap ring and carrier !) i called and spoke to art and he gave me to one of his builders who told me to mill .060 off of the splines wich i did and it no longer hit the ring gear, apparently the splines were cut way to far basicly past the lube hole for the planetary.
I took the transmission apart after a few hundred miles as im trying to chase down a problem with too much converter pressure knocking out my thrust bearing in the engine, the trans worked awesome but their were some metal flakes in the pan upon dissasembly witch i found to be coming from the input shaft bottoming out on the forward clutch shaft, i called cpt again and told them about the problem and they tried to say i was missing a washer or something of that nature and i explained to them this was not the case and that the clearances were carefully adjusted, anyways finally he said to send it to them and they would have a look at it.
I built a trans the year before with the same shaft and didnt have this problem..
Anyone had this happen to them ?
