2nd tranny rebuild inprog

[fmichaels]

i have 2 reasons for doing this. the first is that i don't like 2nd gear on my first rebuild. it doesn't mesh as nicely as 1st, 3rd, and 4th and i am concerned something is wrong. the second is that i have enough "good" parts to put another tranny together as a spare. i can also then compare the action of 2nd gear to my first tranny rebuild.
.
another reason would be that i have a bunch of parts on my bench which i don't want to bag and forget, fresh knowledge on rebuilding these, and the enough extra time to put another together.

Oh goodie a fresh spare. Nice feeling.

Now for a back up engine, lol.

And then a back up tub.

Soon no spares left at all.

Good deal Fred

well i do have a 65 sprite and that tranny is frozen solid. had to smack the shifter to get it out of it's pocket. i just figured it was better to put another together than to dump a bunch of parts in a box.

 

[jlaird]

And you are absolutely right. A new rebuilt tranny is worth haveing, a box of tranny parts, sigh.

Good luck, hope the second one goes nice and smoothly. You're and expert now!

i would like to think i am now smart enough to rebuild one, but until second gear works like i expect, i will hold judgment. i will say though that after doing one, it really isn't that bad.

The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when you overcome the nervousness is well worth it, as well as having a working tranny, hehehe /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif !!

 

[fmichaels]

it is a nice feeling. there are no longer any mysteries left to this car for me, only mini-series!

Great

I had to take three apart to put my first one back together, granted I was 15 and inpatient.

After that they were a piece of cake.

Granted there is a box stuffed somewhere with alot of cogs in it.

Fred great work, I hope second is to your liking.

A spare box seems quite sensible, but then I do have a spare BMW 7 series sat in one corner of the garage... you know, in case a bulb pops or something!
