Ferret Transmission

[panzerwillie]

Well i being working on my MK1 about a hour every sunday so little by little being taking it apart , today finally got the transmission out will the help of some of my friends using freds tow truck, and then took apart a spare he had to see if i can make the dif part of it work with out the preselect section , because the one i took out was a good running one and his is a parts unit so it looks like i can do that with some fabrication its all in my head now just need to get some parts made and go from there for now here are some pictures more to fallow but is a slow process between my OT-810 and his M5A1 and many other projects ...

If what i have in mind works will be running either a 4BT or a center mount turbo 6.5 and either one will have a TB400

Keep the pic's coming with your progress Willie.
Freds Wrecker has to be the most used vehicle in his collection.

 

[panzerwillie]

Yes we used for all the heavy lifting....

Be sure to replace the fluid flywheel seal while you have it all apart.

 

[panzerwillie]

Thank you for the heads up B3.3T but i will not be using anything from the vehicle that including gauges, engine , wiring ,brakes and now that looks like i will be able to not use the preselect transaxle will be great, i will be using most likely a 6.5 center mount turbo and either a TB400 or 4L80E manual shift will see if i can make the diff work....

[Stalwart]

I'll check when I get home but I don't think I have any "broken" ones. I think I have 3-4 of them and one spare for the Fox.

 

[panzerwillie]

Depends what you need , do you have a FERRET , only thing i am using is part of tranny Diff ....

Panzerwillie,

This is a relatively unknown site for AFV spares (Ferret, CVRT, Chieftan, etc) there are several different listing for parts across the top, click on "6700 Stock List" and "Show Full Table" you can find a lot of hard to find Ferret bits.

Im also going to PM you a contact of someone who just bought 4 Ferret hulls and 1 complete ferret plus a bunch of spares of Canadian ferrets (they are Canadian), perhaps you can swap needed parts.

If anyone knows of someone willing to do some Ferret work near Los Angeles CA I need some work done but am running out of time. TIA

 

[panzerwillie]

thank you for all the info
