Well nuts. I'm confused. I've been researching my transmission woes, and after searching on here, I found a few people have had the same experience with their transmission input shafts. One even said his had a bunch of slack with NEW bearings. I just don't see how that is normal, correct, or...
If it ain't one thing, it's another. Checked my pilot bushing to see if it needed replaced, and noticed it seemed to be egged. Measured it at .801" with limit being .7535". Got down and inspected the input shaft, and it has about 1/16" of slop. Crap. Now I have to get the transmission all the...
I know this is an old thread, but I looked it up because I remember a part # for the clutch disc was mentioned. As I was reading, I came across this statement and realized that it was incorrect. I had remembered reading this when I pulled my transmission the other day, so I tried it. I put it in...
I didn't think about bolt together rims, Sam, but I do agree wholeheartedly about the safety ring rims. I also know know you don't mind working on your trucks.
I did forget to mention earlier that my truck has an English transmission. I thought that was neat. I also forgot to mention that my adapter ring had a broken off tap sticking out of the "front" of it that had gouged a little ring out on my flywheel. Also I noticed that all of the threaded holes...
Finally got around to pulling the transmission and flywheel today. I had already done all the preliminary work like pulling the seats and tunnel covers. All I did today was to take loose the front drive shaft and actually take the transmission and flywheel out.
Taking the transmission out...
I thought about it, but that's about as far as I got. Moreover, even though the material was cheap/free, it was fairly labor intensive. I am sure that would go down as I built more boxes. However, if there is enough of a demand I might consider it.
That's a good looking, cheap fix. When I finally got around to fixing mine I just made a new one(the advantages of working in a sheet metal shop). Made it out of some scrap pieces we had laying around. I still need to do something about hold downs, though. You might want to drill a few holes in...
We (all 6 or 8 of us, not sure exactly) will be there Friday, either late morning or early afternoon. We'll have quite a few vehicles, and maybe a thing or two to sell. I think we'll mostly be on the buyer's side of things, though.
Looks like it's gonna stay dry for a while. At least down here anyway. Work is pretty prevalent for me this time of year. Have to sneak in some clutch changing time when I can.
