There is a part called a "Special Washer" which is used along with a bolt to hold the Universal Joit Front Flange to the Main Shaft. Does anyone know what this "Special Washer" is exactly? What I found in it's place when I dis-assembled the tranny was two not-so-special flat washers. Both washers have a 9/16" ID, but the OD's are 1-3/8" and 1-1/2" and they are both concaved from being torqued down. So my question is has anyone seen one of these so called "Special Washers" or have the dimensions so I might track one down. It would not be a good thing to have my U-Joint fail due to a not-so-special washer. Thanks again for putting up with my ramblings.
