95 3550 tremec questions

[tuffenuff1222]

I got a tremec 3550 from a guy around me and it came with the lakewood scatter sheld. he didnt have the block plate or shift fork. i didnt complain becuase i got it really cheap. in order to run this bellhousing what do i need to do and can someone please point me in the right directions or should i just buy the tremec bell but i just read that you might need a blockplate for it too? also is the swap easy? what kinda problems am i going to run into?

call up d&d performance or bob hanlon. if i recall the 3550 used a SROD bell which might be different from the newer 500/600 bells that would be available. personally i wouldn't use the shield you have now unless you plan on launching the car at redline and on a sticky tire.


you need to have the blockplate or you will have to shim the starter as that is what it does on a manual car. serves to also provide enough front pump clearance on a automatic but thats not relevant in your situation. you can also get the plate from d&d or hanlon.

3550 is a great trans. i beat the snot out of one and had no issues putting a lot of power through it until i was making over 700. broke the input shaft in half once and trans was still fine after swapping the shaft lol

thanks the trans has been gone threw by liberty the man told me. so basicly just set the sheld aside and get a alum. bell
