slipping trans?

[joe sobo]

i just did a rebuild on the engine, and when i drive it, i can move while the car is idleing or a little above, but as soon as i hit the gas the car doesnt move a quickly as the rpm. i put new clutch (act 2600 street disk with a new findanza flywheel). as i shift into second, it slips less, when i go third gear , it even slips less than 2nd.... and so forth up to 5th gear. but if i floor it even in 5th, it still slips.

i know its not the clutch and flywheel. when i changed the tranny fluid, there was some metal in the old oil. but the trans shifts perfectly.
it did the same thing before i pulled the engine for a rebuild, so i figured it was the clutch

Have you verified proper clutch adjustment?

If you (or the previous owner) had adjusted the pedal to compensate for a worn clutch the adjustment may be way off when the new clutch is installed, putting pressure on the clutch at all times and causing it to slip.

problem solved. or i should say that i figured it out. i didnt think it had anything to do with my clutch, cause if i put it in gear and revved the balls off of it, i didn't smell clutch burning, and i was correct. as i was ready to pull the trans out, i happen to look at the splines on the output shaft and the transfer case. the splines are almost invisible. so i took the side cover off of the trans and removed the ball for the output shaft, put the transfer case bolted back up and tapped the output shaft into the t-case more, and bolted everything back up and took it for a ride..........sweet. i pushed it in to the output shaft too much and now it is dripping fluid out of the seal, but i only did this to see if it was my problem. and behold, it was. so now i have to locate a replacement output shaft. anyone have an idea where?
to the people that say that if your t-case goes, the car can't be driven, they are wrong. i could spin the shaft in the t-case by hnd,thats how round off the spline were, and the car still drove, but like it was a slipping clutch
