Rebuilding the overdrive transmission
A picture of the transmission
as it was taken out of the car.It will require a clean up, a tear down and powder coated..
Tearing the transmission apart and
making a list of replacment parts needed.
We decided to purchase a new gear
(#7113). It was difficult to find one with the right tooth count (29-25-19-15).The transmission had been torn down before
because some snap rings and washers were not correct. We replaced the bearings,and was cautious about ordering the right kits.
After rounding up all the parts needed we started re-assembling the tranmission.
More numbers on the transmission
case.The powder coated case looks nice.
Putting the many bearings in the
cone and using grease to keep them in place.
A picture of a dummy shaft holding
the bearings in place.
We purchased a new shaft
so we shorten the old one to fit in the case and used it as a pilot in order to keep the bearing in place.Here we are driving
the pilot shaft out with the new one. It is almost impossible to put the shaft through the bearings without the dummy shaft.
Getting it back together.
About to the end of this project.Everything
checks out ok.We'll put the electrical parts back on and mount it on the engine .
The motor is taken off
the engine stand and mounted on a cart to assemble the clutch
and transmission.The cart will be converted with a radiator
and gauages to test and break
in the engine.
