Ok, i'm looking for suggestions. The gear stack is out and there's a bunch of gunk in the rest of the transmission case. Whats the best way to get as much out as possible? I don't want to remove the ring gear and differential.

why not? open up the side cover. pull em out. clean it out, put it back. (the smae way it was)
as long as you use the same total gasket thickness on the int plate, your pinion depth will be right. pull the sidecover, after pulling the output flanges.... clean to your hearts content oh... and if you put it in backwards, you havd 5 reverse gears (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

Removing the differental will not hurt a thing. The adjustment is done with shims that are between the bearings and the differential carrier. Just pull the side cover and lift out the differental.
Plus, You need to replace the o-ring on the differental cover if you are this far into the tranny. |

Ok, Thats great to know. Taking this thing apart is really fun. The cleaning is not so great and buying parts is no fun at all. Both intermediate plate bearings fell apart. I'm going to try Gary Emory at Parts Obsolete and see if he has any reasonable used parts. He's got a lot of stuff in that big old barn.
I'm getting to like the smell of tranny fluid. It's right up there with MEK. Dave |

Hey don't tell him the secrets to Transaxle repair. Let him screw it up so we can all laugh at him. Remember a few months ago when I did that very thing. Remember the book is wrong. ring gear teeth point towards the cover (914 configuration). teeth pointing in 911 configuration. |

Yea I can post a picture of what not to do. Don't leave you intermediate plate and other parts in a rubbermaid box on the bottom shelf. DURING A HURRICANE! Did all ya'll know that magnesium and salt water DON'T mix. the plate is almost no more. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) |
