Baller, I am envious
Finally partitioned off some time to get the tranny pulled out. Not the easiest, but got in on the table by myself in about 3-3 1/2 hours. Definitely helped borrowing my buddies 3 foot extension for the sockets. Had three bolts on top and there was no other way to get to them. Hope to diagnose and repair in a week or so.
Drywall lift works as well as a tranny jack…maybe better.
Josh’s old tranny in the vise…slowly going back together.
Nice work!
my tranny thing went off.
That lift comes in handy :tup:
Still gotta use wood ramps and a jack just to get clearance to get the arms under, but yes I must admit, it’s my favorite old man tool.
Awesome! Hot damn that car is clean as shit I bet every bolt comes off with ease.
Glad it is coming along.
Yeah, as long as you can reach them to get a wrench on em.
Also decided to pull the clutch setup since I was down there f’in with the wheels. I wanted to check out the clutch wear and the flywheel condition, since I hope not to have the tranny back out anytime soon. Plate and clutch looked OK, however, the pilot busing appears to be cracked. For how long, I don’t know so it’s kind of fortuitous that I have the tranny out to replace it. On goes the search for the “whine”. Cracking the tranny this week…hopefully.
Replaced the input shaft bearing, seemed like the likely cause. All other components inside the case looked very good. Stripped and painted the tranny housing. Ordering a couple sensors, shifter boots, and such needed before I shove it back in. Need a couple other parts as well. Should be ready to go back in by next weekend.
Awesome
You deleted my Rtv masterpiece
Also I’ll have Your driveshaft back by tuesday night.
Nice work!
Thanks. Manual says it weights 85 lbs. wet. Buuuuullsheeet. I’ll be glad when this thing gets back where it belongs.
Nice!
Big thanks to robftw for helpin me get this thing back in there. Took longer than I thought, but with a few details left to wrap it up, all should be good with the world and I’ll be back on the road. Thanks again rob.
Kick ass. Can’t wait to see it out
that looks so good
