3 or 4 lining disks for the B3 on a 722.4
Hi Guys
It seems there is a bit of a shortage on transmission repairs on the forum, so I thought I'd start a few threads as I put together my 722.400. I have a dillema, and I'm looking for an experts opinion. I got a rebuild manual from MB for the 722.400 transmission, and in the manual, it states to use 4 lining disks with 5 steels discs on the B3 clutch, however, so far all my clutches even the B3 use only 3 lining discs and 4 steels. My dillema is that I'm trying to get the measurements for the B3 correct, and the steels I have are a little thin. I have the opportunity to shave some of my current discs (I have 7 in total, I had to get a few new ones since the old ones were burnt up) to any thickness I want. naturally, I would not shave them past the minimum thickness that they can be obtained on. By doing this I hope to achieve the correct measurements for the B3 clutch, with 4 lining discs. In other words, I would go from 3 lining discs and 4 thick steels, to 4 lining discs and thinner steels. Personally I don't see how this could cause any problems, but, I'm not a pro at this yet, and would like to hear some opinions. My thoughts are that as long as the spring on the transmission housing for the B3 has no issues with this, I would not have any problems. Thanking you in advance xp
