Hi everyone
I am in the process of rebuilding my overdrive and I have a couple of questions:
The accumulator housing is a bit scored and I think it should be replaced. I have the piston with the metal rings which seem to be in good condition. Should I replace just the housing, or both? Or, I am thinking of going to the later rubber o-ring version piston with a new housing. Can anyone comment on that?
Also, what's the wisdom about replacing the accumulator spring. Mine measures about 6 3/8 inch. I don't have the test rig to test pressure and I am wondering if it would be wise to fit a 3/16 washer under the spring to account for any wear that may have taken some length off the spring. I know new ones are available, but I always worry about the quality of replacement parts.
Also, my operating pistons have the steel rings. Again in good condition. Would you advise replacing them?
Thanks
Matthew
