how to attach the driven on a torque convert to a jackshaft?

[bajagokart]

how do you attach the driven portion of your torque converter to you jackshaft? do you have to thread the jackshaft or can you buy ones that are pre threaded?

Post a pic. I'm confused- Because as far as I know, the answer to both your questions is no. Unless you've got a weird one...

 

[bajagokart]

i dont have a pic lol from what ie read the driven isnt supposed to "float" on teh jackshaft, its supposed to be bloted liek the way you would bolt on a clutch

You can drill and tap the end of the Jack shaft or just use locking collars.

 

[bajagokart]

so basically 1, 3/4" lock collar before the driven basically?

 

[Doc Sprocket]

I'm wracking my brain right now to try and remember how mine's held on, and I can't get at the dang thing to check it out right now...

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Yup that would work. Split collars are better than set screw type.

 

[bajagokart]

what do u mean by split? are they in like 2 pieces or something?

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Yup.

 

[bajagokart]

so then if its in 2 pieces how do u put it together?

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Use the google Luke.

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

No it's 1 piece that's split. Just google it ain't hard.

the kind freakboy posted is the ones I was originally thinking of. Equally as good.

 

[bajagokart]

ok sweet ill do that then

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Hey that's pretty cool- I'm used to seeing ones that are actually two halves that get bolted together. So I guess these clamp better than the basic 1 or 2 setscrew type...

 

[DK shredaaa]

theres a keyway on mine

 

[bajagokart]

and you just use like 6 lock collars im guessing? one on either side of the driven, one on the inside of each bearing, and one on either side of the sprocket?

 

[r_chez_08]

keyway like DK shredaaa says if you are on about how does it not spin. sode to side movement is the collars.
