Spare Manual Transmission?

[chrism3784]

I don't have front upgrade. So bias plugs would be fine right?

Darn 38sho, I have a spare hard button eatc. Also theres like 1 or 2 in the junkyards somewhere. I'm going to have A/C to, mine leaked somewhere, so I'm changing out all o-rings which hopefully stops the leak.

crap, well I already bought one from Dan Barbush, hes a reputable dude

I've been looking and all the ones I've seen were the pre 95 versions/broken

I just saw something about welding the diff pins to make that problem from ever happening what I just went through. I know a welding shop. How easy is it to take the diff off. I still have the tranny out?

 

[38SHO]

here is a step by step on how to do it

I wouldn't say welding the pins is the end all solution and it can never happen, welds break sometimes..... only way to fix this is get a quaife and get rid of the pins entirely

A good welder can guarentee his welds. Diff welding is not too hard, get some new hardened rollers and bring them to a reputable welder. 3/8" steel rods to weld it all together.

I can't afford the quaise. I'm probably just going to stick it in like that till I see a junkyard tranny that isn't screwed over, I'll take the diff out of it right at the junkyard and get those welded and pull the engine/tranny and do it again. Till then I'll drive it nice, no burnouts.

Me and 38sho put the engine and tranny back in on the mounts. as im putting everything back in, noticed one problem. the clutch tob fork arm thingy seems pretty tight. i put new ceramic bushings in and had to hammer the fork back in. connected the cluth and it swings in pretty easily when pushing down the clutch. let go of the clutch and arm doesnt go back easily. i can push it back pretty easily, but wont be able to do that while driving. You think it will just wear itself in, or is this common on the new bushings. im going to keep pushing it back and forth for a while before i officially finish it and drive it.

I know the transmission worked fine when pulled. Did you replace those bushings Jason was telling you to swap over for the cable fork?

 

[chrism3784]

Sure did, and the new ones I think are very tight. That lever was really hard to get back in. had to hammer it. I just hope it wears itself in to make the car drivable. Right now if I was to drive it, I would push clutch in and it would stay in. Maybe I can hook some kind of spring onto it to pull it back. Keep it there till it wears itself in, if it ever.

Did you **** the new bushings? SHONUT says to **** them with synthetic caliper grease. Even with the ****, I think mine were a little snug at first. Just keep working it, and it should loosen up. The main thing is that it should be smooth.

 

[chrism3784]

Yes, lubbed them with caliper **** before putting the fork in. I'm finishing putting the car together wednesday, so we'll see

 

[SuperchargedSHOguy]

With the **** in there you should be able to smooth it out after moving it back and forth x amount of times as Kelvin said. Hopefully you can make the meet with it.
