    Putting tranny, what's the PC term, transgender together

    I've been set back here. should tightening the bolts down bind the gear assembly at all? it has just occurred to me in the middle of shimmying, that tightening this transmission case down makes it harder if not impossible to turn the transmission from the input shaft or the differential (using...

    Well, I only bought one new shim for the dif, and it has tested too fat, and so has the thinnest one at .042. Again, I'm saying this because tightened down the dif seizes but I also confirmed the shim on the intermediate shaft, the smaller of all of them, and I suspect that either or both shims...

    okay, so I've used three torque wrenches to triple check the bolts tightened to 29ft/lbs and several times performed the solder test and using the manual's specs consistently I came up with a combination of spacers that I have ranging from. 042-.051 inch most of which seize the shafts when...

    yeah, they range from easy to hard. I've been having to use a 2x4x10 to reach down there and hammer them in. I'll see if I can hand wiggle them. maybe the area could use some cleaning in this case. but those little spaces behind each race are for "creative" race removal purposes right? thanks...

    Okay, so I didn't need any tools to turn the shafts. Silly me! Anyway, how do I get this I guess its called a race? As you can see its seated up against the case but there is that little access space in there on the case against the race. For what tool is that for if that's what I need to get it...

    well, it was sitting right there and I didn't think of anything else I guess. as far as the other shafts I'll have to double check. be back in a few hrs...

    I used a new micrometer. the whole transmission is seized. without shims tightened fully I can barely move it by hand. stick one shim in, either one, I bought a .043 and had a .046, tighten down I can't move it. I'm turning it by hand with the short axle put in the differential.should I put...

    so after tightening the case down you should be able to hand turn the transmission(using an axle shaft) right? if so not only did not need a spacer but I'll need to remove the one that was in there. I don't get it.well actually, I just learned that with zero spacers, bolts tightened to...

    can i use this "anaerobic gasket maker" on my transmission case?

    actually found good reviews for this stuff and this interesting note in a review:" This is the best stuff out there. It's anerobic so it only hardens in the absence of oxygen. Any excess will flow through the system and not gum up anything important (oil passages especially.) "which...

    can i use this "anaerobic gasket maker" on my transmission case?

    it seems to dry slowly greasy, but eventually does so but doesn't finish like rtv. anyone know if this is suitable? doesn't have specific application info on back. thanks...

    hey so where do I get a the best price on a kit of these shims?

    Putting tranny, what's the PC term, transgender together

    that was an old pic. cleaned off that rtv already, and hub off, if you mean that sleeve part that slides up/down.anyway, I think I could use a shim, like .1mm to add to the already existing 1mm, or do they make them in like 1.1mm sizes? what's the quickest way to get these? local tranny...

    alright, since I'm here I will do the measurement. thankshey paulyman or anyone for that matter, what is the safest way to remove these gears? I don't want to use two big screw drivers like I did last time, and the gear pullers I've found, the guillotine looking kind, can't fit under there...
