haha yes everyone makes mistakes, and that is why when in doubt if something feels wrong, check it! but on suncoast kits especially the III's you dont really have to worry.
mine should be the same as a suncoast 4, but i think i need to put that one C2 clutch and steel back in that i took out for clearence.
What kind of clutches did you use? I havent been up to speed on what has all happened with your build.
did you buy an SCIV or did you machine down the plates and that kind of stuff?
i noticed :rofl: and ATSG is for the 5spd too, when i put the new seals in the C1/C2 housing i had to pretty much do it on my own, everthing was dif, but the seals i needed to replace(were tore apart and in pieces) all fit just fine.
when i took out the ALTO C2s i compared them to my stock ones and the packs are the same thickness.
So how did all this shit start? You bought an Alto power-pack for an '01-'05, which by the way is not even a Suncoast 3 kit, then you try to install it into an '06? The shop you are towing it to better be very sharp because they are likely to miss some of the things you did wrong. If they don't know what the sub assemblies are suppose to look like they won't catch some things. Good luck and I hope they get you on the road soon.
i was told it would work on the '06 but offcourse i didnt know alto didnt make clutches for the '06, my dad knows a guy who works at this shop and he said hes built allisons before but he didnt say if hes built an '06 cuz my dad didnt know there was a difference but when i take the truck up there they will get every detail of what i did and what i used and ill make sure they know what there doin.
ooo and the only reason i did it like this was to save money and i did, the clutch packs only cost me a lil under $600 for all of em.
Deltrans is a good shop, The owner is very smart,Alittle new to the Ally builds with what converters to use they tried to get me to switch to a single disc converter and said it would save 45lb of spinning weight, but will only hold 900lb of tq im over that, heres info on owner Mike you might even know him Ed Lee is a Sonnax Technical Specialist who focuses on issues of interest to torque converter rebuilders. He was the owner/operator of Deltrans Inc

my dad knows i guy who works there cant remember his name but thats what he told my dad, i shouldnt use a triple disk cuz of weight, i told my dad he was crazy. :rofl:, ill tell them to leave the converter alone
