The video is getting closer to happening as Eric (cupomeat) and I just work on firming up a date in the near future. The video will cover the full tear down, inspection and rebuild of both side and tail shift (both /4 and /6) transmissions, but the video can not cover everything that I wish to. As such, I have taken the last 4 days in the middle of nowhere MN to start writing the notes that will accompany the video. The notes may be made available for free as well at a later time, but for now I need to make sure that they are as complete as I can make them. I have much of them done already, but I am still in the editing phase. If you have some info (factual or anecdotal) or experience with any of the topics, feel free to post them so I can either shoot them down or include them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Here is the outline so far: Transmission rebuild video supplement: Forward – What the deal is Chapter 1 – Do I need a rebuild? What external things to inspect *Engine mounts *Trans mounts *Bushings *Cone screws *Clutch cable adjustment and issues -How to adjust cable -Broken tube How to adjust the shifter Inspecting core tranny *Input shaft and output flanges turn? *Input shaft play? *“it shifts fine on the floor”, Oh goody, big deal. A word on reading used transmission oil Chapter 2 – Do I need that? Myths and musings *Billet intermediate plate *Through bolting the intermediate plate/case/tail cone *Lubricants -Dino vs Royal Purple vs Swepco *Galvanic chart: Stainless hardware FACTS -SS hardware will not prematurely corrode your case and why not *Corrosion protection -Original factory coating -Options for aftermarket Chapter 3 – Tweaking your gears and diff Gear selection *Considerations *Engine dependent gearing *Interpreting gearing *Intended usage of the gear box *Flipping gears Limited slip differentials *The main idea - what they do *Torque biasing *Friction biasing Welded differentials *Don't do it! Chapter 4 – Troubleshooting, care, and feeding of your 901 Problem list *Reverse gear grinds *Pops out of gear *Grinds *Whining *Clutch will not disengage – resurfaced flywheel usage? *Clunk and shifts funny *Pivot ball leak? General maintenance *Oil changing Appendix Torques and values *Case nuts, 8x1.25 *Speedo retainer bolt *Throwout bearing guide tubs nuts, 10x? *Detente package retainer bolt, 14mm *Pinion bolt *Input shaft nut Special tools list |

I know your producing a DVD, but how about also cranking out a blue ray disk while your at it...not really any more work--you'll be able to include much more. Of course, the blue ray disk could be a premium purchase. Just think of all the cool interactivity that could be incorporated., humor cameos, diagram blowups, step by step lists, websites, interviews, etc, etc.

I dont know squat about Blue ray and if the format gets changed again I will quit buying video media all together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I just got on with DVD when blueray came out. |

BluRay is alot of work. Then in the end everyone will buy the DVD. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Plenty of other options but DVD still seems top be the most universal. Working to setup Super Speeders for download with digital rights management. What a pain in the ass that is. If you guys need help I have a scribe replicator. Does 400 disc a day and prints full color disc art. Only does single layer though. In my experience if you go dual layer you need to go full replication from DLT tape. Easier to multiple single disc.
