Tranny issue?

I recently had an issue with my T86 and purchased a rebuilt T86. When I recieved the "T86" it had T90 internals. I did some reading and found out that this is OK as long as you use a T90 shift tower. I installed the T86 casing with the T90 internals and had all sorts of issues getting the thing to go into gear. Remove the tranny took it to a local tranny guy. He dug into it and mentioned something to me over the phone about a shaving down of something. He stated that when you put T90 internals into a T86 casing something has to be shave down? What is this thing that has to be shaved down and could it cause problems later down the road????

 

wow, i don't know for sure but i have heard that t-90 internals will fit no problem.

 

I too would like to know.

 

Wouldn’t the guy suggesting shaving it down have that answer? I would call him back and get an explanation.

 

I've done the swap before and as far as I can remember didn't have to shave or machine anything. I'd call your tranny person back and get more info. Nickmil.
