Folks,
I had a couple months lapse in rebuilding a Type A overdrive due to a health issue.
Upon reassembly, I could not find the spacing washer that goes between the sunwheel and the sunwheel thrust washer. So, to determine what thickness of spacing washer I needed, I followed the shop manual’s instructions on assembly the overdrive with an thicker spacing washer and then measuring the gap between the rear casing and the brake ring. After much adjustment of the nuts to result in an even gap, to my surprise, the results were that the end float was within tolerances without a spacing washer. My guess is that this overdrive never had a spacing washer, so I never lost it.
Has anyone had this experience?
Thanks.
Ron
