GRAND RAPIDS, Mich - (AAC) The durable yet simple design of the original “Drum Buddy” return-spring compressor device has taken the automatic transmission rebuilding industry by storm! What’s next?

After calls for a larger design were heard, the engineers decided to tackle one of the most challenging drums yet. The “C” clutch (reverse) drum of the ZF5HP30 utilizes a 24T diaphragm spring for piston return. It must be compressed to service the lip seals, a known cause for failure in these transmissions. If the seals don’t suffer blow out, the “lugs” retaining the top snap ring of the drum can. Good used “loaded” drums are difficult to come by and the seals’ condition unknown. New drums arrive bare; therefore the original piston must be reused. Whatever the scenario is, to know it’s done right it must come apart.

Center Support Bearing Installer

Our new T-3600 bearing driver will set the

fragile ball bearing correctly every time.

No more worries of potential damage incurred during installation... we have sized our driver exactly for the task. It contacts the outer race while the o-ring holds the inner snug and centered; ensuring the bearing assembly will remain smooth and trouble free once installed.

Often, the center support hub surface is in great shape but you don’t trust the bearing.

Why pay over $60 for a new support kit when you can now purchase a tool that replaces the bearing, quickly and accurately, for only a small percentage of that?

5R110W Output shaft nut

Spanner socket

The 5R110W. When used in 4-wheel drive applications it must make use of a large nut that also serves as the inner surface for the output shaft seal. This nut must be removed for complete disassembly of the transmission. The design of this nut requires a “spanner wrench” in the form of a large 1/2” drive socket.

The Muncie Wrench

The Muncie 4-speed transmission will be around for many years to come. Be prepared for the next one you get to play with! Made of heavy duty precision-cut steel, our Muncie wrench easily removes and installs the thin-walled input shaft retaining nut. As an added feature, we cut a rounded-rectangular hole into the handle shaped specifically to operate the forks after the assembly process.

Permanent pump wear protection

Good used case halves are a challenge to find. New aftermarkets are available, for a price.

The problem with merely replacing the case is it won’t solve the problem. Magnesium cases are soft; aluminum pumps are harder. The problem will come back. Maybe on someone else’s watch, but surely you pride yourself in fixing problems.

An unbreakable intermediate band anchor;

when durability is a must.

OEM anchors are a compromise between functionality and cost.

Their chosen material is brittle. As the band wears, the angle of the anchor changes slightly. When this occurs pressure is applied to an area not designed to contend with it, often resulting in failure. Breakage may also occur when line pressure is increased due to performance modifications to the valve body and/or computer reprogramming. Larger aftermarket servo pistons certainly take their toll. Diesel applications have a higher clamp-load from different geometry of the apply lever adding even more stress. A bit of “peace of mind” is now available!
