M-35tom was right!!! Someone used silicone and stopped up the drain back hole in the transmission housing.
I am guessing that was the problem all along.
Will be putting the transmission back in this weekend, I hope.
M-35tom Thanks!!!!!
You may need more then one. I think they come .010, .020 .030, .050".
Be sure to check the back slash on the gears after you put it on.
It is almost impossible to check it with dial indicator on the truck. But you
can feel it for the most part. Most of the time it is .030"
I run into another problem or question.
I put in a new pilot bearing/ (Bushing) and it was a little tight putting it in the back of the crank. I tried the clutch alignment tool and it would not go in the pilot bearing. I measured it and the input shaft of the transmission and the transmission...
I took the front of the old transmission parts to try to find the problem. I am not sure I can tell what is bad.
I measured (the best I can) the shaft and bearing retainer and the shaft is 1.495" and it looks ok, and the retainer in 1.518".
Is .023 over part of the problem?
What is the right...
I have things all cleaned up and ready to start the rebuild, But I have a 2nd take transmission that I am going to put in to get the truck back on line. Then I will repair the old transmission.
The input shift on the 2nd transmission moves about 1/8" or less and the bad one moves way more then...
Well I got the transmission out this afternoon with out any problems.
But I need to figure out what is bad, the main seal or the transmission.
The transmission input shaft moves around a lot. So I am thinking that is the problem.
My question is on the pressure plate, Is that TM says to put...
gringeltaube, Thanks for you input. I have it ready to drop tomorrow, I am here by myself right now and do not want to do it by myself.
Will wait for soldier B.
Thank you!
I have been dealing with this for a long time now. I tried to lower the level in the transmission and it helped a little.
But on long runs like 60 miles it leaks out about 1oz when I stop. Now the clutch has started to slip. So it is time to see
what the problem is.
I am about to remove my transmission on my M35A2 and I have some questions for you guys.
I looked at the TM and it tells you to remove them, but can you just do it with out removing them all the way?
1. Do you have to remove the PTO to get the clearance you need to move the transmission back...
