46RH direct drum machining
Hi guys, i'm on the process of rebuilding a 46RH came out of a '94 Jeep ZJ, i found that the band was actually without any friction material left and was working metal to metal on the outer diameter of the drum so of course , it caused some wear on it, it has grooves but the thing is concerning me the most is that there's a little bit of taper on the end of the drum itself, didn't have the chance to measure it yet.
I'm thinking to put it on the lathe but i have no idea what the minimum diameter would be. I know that band preload , must be set with the torquewrench, so there's no problem if diameter is a lil smaller and having the drum a relatively big external diam. band can still perform well anyway.
Opinions wanted. Thank you for your time.
