Hey, that's cool.. Alot better than trying to lock the trans by engaging 2 gears at once.

Now where am I going to find a bad 1st gear slider?

Bet that hurts when it's angry.....

I can just see getting pulled over by Officer Friendly and him pulling that out from behind the front seat.....ummm, whut's dis????

Why that's a tranny tool.....OK, assume the position....

Holds drive shaft steady to you can torque on and off the main bolt.

Looks pretty amateur to me. I'll stick with the factory technique, which has served me well for 33 years. You still need the factory jig, or its equivalent, to set the forks, so why not use it for the torquing procedure? The Cap'n

Because it is novel. Sure the jig does the task perfectly, but I like the way others think out of the box.
Sheesh, dont be such a fuddy duddy.

Also, this tool would help in changing first with the stack and tranny in the car.

Posted by: Brad Roberts Jul 3 2006, 10:43 AM

I figured this is what it was for, just wanted to be 100% sure.

I use something similar from a clutch disc to hold the input shaft.

Welded clutch center to a cheapy floorjack handle.
