Yeah I keep reminding myself, A day under my Deuce beats a day at work! :beer:

Right now I have almost no pedal freeplay, how much should I have?

The lever was off that much because the replacement trans didn't have one, I had to re-use the one that was on the junk one. I had marked it's position but accedentally wiped it off with a rag. I judged it's placement by the pics from beforehand.

Here's the story; Today started out with everything going great, the pto was installed with little effort on the new trans. It was fairly warm outside and partly cloudy, not the best outdoor working conditions but it could have been worse. :wink: I positioned the trans under the truck started...

auaauaauaauaauaauaauaauaauaaua After being 90% complete.... SNAFU! ! ! There is no way this is getting done today......

Hey mckeeranger, I started the install this morning and ran into some difficulty getting it lined up properly. It's still hanging from the hoist and the front of the input shaft is inside the clutch, but it wont go in further than the teeth. It's also really hard to keep it level with the weight...

??? :ditto:???

Whats the deal? Is this thread not working guys???? :tin hat:

So today got off to a rocky start, I was up and outside bright and early removing the cover from the trans. After I removed it from the truck I went back into the cab to find that the chain I had bolted to the cover had dissapeared! :shock: Where the **** did it go??? I CHECKED EVERYWHERE! then...

Ok before I post the pictures and tell you about todays progress, does anybody know the approx distance in degrees between the throwout bearing fork and the control lever at the end of the shaft?? I marked it this morning, then wiped it on accedent after I removed it. MARK GONE! :doh:

Ok I see now! That makes sense thanks :beer: looks like I have to take my cover off!

You got it! [thumbzup]

What are the pros of removing the top cover?

steelandcanvas, mckeeranger said earlier that the ny-lock bolts tend to vibrate loose under high torque conditions.

Yes you did, I guss the advantage of that is being able to line up your splines on the front shaft durring installation by turning the output shaft.

Could I do the same thing with the front half of the output shaft? That would make my life alot easier!

Looks like I need to drain my tranny.:doh: Yeah it's a good thing or I would have used 80-90 too! :grd: Thanks jwaller! :beer:

Waiting on the new gaskets for the replacement trans. It's been sitting dry in a barn for a few years, does anyone have any recommendations for a good re-break-in proceedure? I plan on blasting the inside with 120psi to get rid of any and all small fragments of metal/dust. Then I was going to...

Yeah jwaller but I want to make sure the front driveshaft dosen't interfere with the removal (sorry if I said axleshafts lol), and my plan was to remove the pto when it was on the ground anyway. But are you telling me it is possible to leave the output shaft in the truck?

Check to make sure you aren't overwhelming the system either. When I first installed my rotating convoy lights I woud run them for a few mins and then half my electrical system would go dead. I would turn off the switch and the service drive, then turn just the service drive back on. Everything...
