AX15 TO FORD V8 ADAPTER
Using RTV Silicon sealer, apply a thin layer on the face of the transmission. This should
be applied where the bellhousing and retainer were fastened. Set the
adapter onto the transmission. The adapter plate does not use the
dowel pin on the transmission, but indexes off of the front input shaft
bearing. Clearance holes have been provided to retain the dowel
pin.
Install the retainer bolts first, and torque to 10 ft/lbs. Next, using the
nine (9) S.H.C.S. transmission bolts ( P/N 720030 ), bolt the plate to the
transmission and torque to 22 ft/lbs.
Install the new retainer using the four (4) S.H.C.S. retainer bolts ( P/N 723113 ).
This retainer has a standard Ford index diameter of 4.848, and a standard release
bearing snout of 1.430. A standard Ford pressure plate, release lever and release
bearing should be used. A Chevy clutch disc is required;
Centerforce #383735, or a stock Chevy 11" disc.
Two pilot bushings have been supplied. The AX15 had
either a .750 or .590 tip on the input shaft. Install the
correct bushing for your transmission.
Once all the clutch components are installed and the
bellhousing is bolted to the block, you can now install the
transmission and adapter to the bellhousing. Use the
four (4) 7/16" S.H.C.S. ( P/N 724317 ) to bolt these units together. Make sure the bellhousing and retainer index
properly. If the units (while sliding together) stop before surfaces are mated, DO NOT "SUCK UP" THE
SURFACES USING THE BOLTS. Check for clutch or pilot bushing alignment, or the input shaft may need
to be shortened a little more. Damage could occur if forced together.
