The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Hydra-Matic Trans Front & Rear Housings

I was thinking that when the two housing are bolted together.
Both the front and rear faces have to be parallel to each other.

Like maybe at the factory, they bolted the two housing together and
machined the face of the front housing parallel to the rear housings face. (check attached)

Do you think when the front and rear housings are machined parallel makes them a "Matched Set" ?

According to the illustration it looks like if you bought the flywheel housing, they both came as a housing assembly.
Another words, you had to buy the front & rear housings together.

Its probably not good to mismatch housings, otherwise you might run into problems that you might not be able to fix..
What do think?
