Part One:
I am having trouble mating the overdrive back onto the transmission. The engine and gearbox are installed in the car.
I undid the overdrive from the transmission and pulled it back about 1 inch in order to insert a new gasket as the gearbox was leaking from the mating surface between the OD and the Transmission. I got the new seal in and went to push the two parts back together and they won’t go back together. The OD start to go back into the transmission and then stops about a half inch from fully inserted. I have tried for hours lifting it with jacks, shifting it around etc and no luck. Is there a trick to this?
Does anyone have any advice on how to get the OD to seat back onto the transmission?
Part Two:
I thought at first the wheel on the plunger was clearing the Cam lobe. Then I noticed the Cam lobe ring could move back and forth on the shaft. So I pull the spring plunger down as suggested by a user and slid the ring back and released the plunger and it lined up as it should where the plunger/wheel was riding on the ringed Cam part as is should. I thought it would then all slide together.
But something else has now gone wrong. Where I used to be able to use a pry bar and push the OD half way into position, which is when it probably was getting suck on the Cam lobe and the plunger, now it won't even do that. I cannot get the OD to move forwards at all. It is now stuck.
Before I discovered the Plunger/Cam lobe interference, I had don't things like turning the shaft manually, and putting it in gear and manually cranking the engine to turn it, which it did turn. Some how it has now gotten to a point where I cannot push it in at all, not even the half way I could before.
Thanks for your help.
