lineup ssm3 and engines
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]566787[/ATTACH] Hi Need alittle help here..use to run bravos , but are getting into 41 apache and ssm3, trannies etc..bought everything from different people..how do I allign drive, tranny,engine correct..have 4 engine mount holes.Also do I mount tranny on engine and slide it into the
inner transom?Thanks for your input.

Mount the trans onto the bellhousing, then install the engines. You are going to need a SSM alignment bar. Are you using front and rear engine plates? Or just the fronts?

Hi front and rear..where do i get alignment bar..have only found for trs

Try Cobra in Miami

Trs and ssm alignment bar is the same.

Thanks Mild Thunder

the bar is the same but the puck that goes into the helmet is smaller on a SSM drive... just went thru this on the weekend with another buddy up here... he bought a TRS alignment tool thinking they're the same, and found that the locator puck doesn't go into the recv'r register in the helmet!!

a Quick trip to the lathe will fix that though... :angry-smiley-044:

Does he wanna rent his bar as I will be doing the same install in my 36 Warlock Cat in the next week or so?

some I have seen over the years have a stepped down puck

Thats odd. The one i have fit both my trs , and SSM V gimbal.

I just went to look in my merc service manual, it shows the same tool part number , for TRS, SSM II,III,IV,V, VI.

On the one i have, the puck/disc thingy, has one step to it.

If anyone knows of different puck part numbers , id be interested in seeing them.

Last year, i had some O-rings new in a package. The ones that go on the drive around the driveshaft housing bore, where it seals to the bellhousing. I installed them on the drive, then slid the drive on. Something didnt look right. The o ring was really thick. I had assumed they were for the ssm setup. Turned out, they were for a trs setup, must have ordered them years ago and never used them. Anyhow, ordered up the ssm ones, and when they came, they were the same diameter as the trs ones, but thinner.

I just ordered one yesterday ,should be here shortly and that should have a step in puck,but lets see

Where you order it from?
