so the photo posted above is a throw out bearing?

what is a throw out bearing? is this one?

i did replace both of them and the rear hoses also. much better break pedal now.

what is the difference between fluid drive and hydrive?

okay here's a update. it has now been 4 months, i found out i had a leak in the carb, got a new one and fixed the long start after sitting, car had been running good, but it looks like i killed another battery. went out yesterday and it barely had the jucie to start up. once it ran and it charged for a while i had no problem stoping and restarting it. even if it sat for a few hours i had no problems. after it sat overnight. no luck it was slooooowww turning over. it seems like it is having a hard time holding a charge over time. i am planning to change to a alternator and omit the generator (soon but not in the next month), but what could be causing this? i have rewired the entire car with the proper size wire and i do not have a draw when the car is off. could i be overcharging, or doing something to kill the batteries?

Yep. You think that is an accurate guess on what was happening?

You must be looking on the power wagon page? I noticed the same thing, and double checked. Gdz 6001f is stamped on my tag. I was wondering if the changed numbers?

ok checked the oil and was about 2 quarts low. so im thinking that the tourqe convertor was sucking the pressure down as i started off. filled it up and the problem has went away

When i was tinkering i noticed that my voltage regulator states "for 40-50 amp use only". my generator is taged GDZ 6001f-10E. i can not find any documentation that tells me what this is rated for. Can anyone tell me? could having a 35 amp gen and a 50 amp voltage regulator cause me problems?

alls he wants is a input shaft, so thats what i will send him... thanks for the help

so it sounds like i will need to send george my entire transmassion rather than sending him a new input shaft and cluster gears.

i noticed today that my oil pressure was 20-25 when idling, but it drops when accelerating. almost to zero. shouldnt it go up when accelrating? i cant remember what it normaly does? brain fart i guess. wht would cause it to drop while accelerating?

Dodgeb4ya, could you do me one more favor? could you tell me the part number for a main cluster gear for a 53 hydrive? are they different from the strut type gears of the 40's (fast second) i was thinking that they had a special second gear ratio and would have to be specific to hydrive. Am I wrong in thinking this?

any tips on where to look for tie rods? napas prices vary from $20-$90. rock auto only has the right side inner and outer. no lefts andy burnbaum has them all listed for 35 dollars each inners and outer why the price variances?

i built something sorta like this http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=7468&highlight=brake+tool once again thanks for the offer. it seems fair , but i thought i would first try this route. i will bleed them again, but felt like i was getting some where. just wondering if i was close.

is a 1/4" to much? or is that acceptable

is that about the correct pedel amount? i know that the pads are the same distance heel an toe all the way around, is not what the brake guage does? i know i how to get a guage, but does it hurt to start like this?

as i worked on my brakes i noticed that when one front wheel is off the ground and one is still on the ground i could grab each side of the wheel and move it back and forth 1/4". there was no movement top to bottom or in and out. is that much left right movement okay? is it caused by loose/ worn out tie rod's ?

when your brake pedal is pressed how close to the floor does it go? originaly mine started 8" from the floor and traveled to 3/4" high before the car stoped. after replacing the all cylinder, hoses and installing a rebuilt master cylinder. the pedal started at 8" adn stoped at 1.5" today after doing my best to use a homemade brake guage and then doing a minor adjustment i now have a pedal that stops at 4" on the first press 4.5" on the second press. i know i have a little air in the lines, but i think im doing better. When i did the minor adjustment i would tighten the cam untill the wheel would not spin and then back it off untill i could barely hear any contact, but the wheel would still spin freely. does this all sound correct?

the current plan is to add a/c and an electric fan. do you think 60 is over kill the a/c requires 30 amps alone

could the seals be replaced? that might explain the constant oil puddle located under my car.

our stock generators were 50 amp? i thought they were 35. so did they produce a full 50 amps or did it have a built in loss? (output is 40 ish)

thanks for the lead i will have to get one of those

any others on here? didnt they produce 75,000 of them? Did they all break down or die? are they that bad of a transmission?

thanks. I appreciate the information
