Thank you mckeeranger! Your posts were a big help, couldn't have done it without them! :driver::beer:

Yeah it's going to smell like gear oil for months! Thanks wb1895!

Finished! As of this morning my transmission replacement adventure is over, results: SUCCESS! I took her for a test drive, all gears working and shifting properly! Clutch engages and disengages perfectly! I am keeping a close eye on everything while I drive her over the next few days and I...

Quick question, the pedal goes down about 1.5 inches before the lever on the trans moves. Is that considerd free play even though the pedal is still fairly stiff? It gets alot stiffer after that, this feels normal on my foot like what i'm used to.

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?
