Anyone have any suggestions? davidpozzi Sep 30th, 02, 06:33 PM Make sure you have the correct one for a PS box, which is different size than a manual box. The input shaft size on PS boxes was changed around 1980 and those are smaller.

Align the groove on the shaft to where the bolt goes, and then install it. pdq67 Oct 1st, 02, 07:57 AM Just a suggestion, but you MAY have to spread it ever so slightly to get a sliding fit b/c the new coupling I have is the same way. I am going to use a fine chisel to spread it just a schosh so it slides on.. And I will do it very gently!!! pdq67 |
