I drive my car everyday  Group: Members Posts: 8,304 Joined: 8-May 03 From: Tulsa, Ok. Member No.: 666  |
I've had either a rear crank seal or a trans input shaft seal, or both, leaking for some time now. Clutch has been slipping slightly, and I've been babying it. Yesterday the clutch gave it up. I also need to replace pushrod tube seals and motor mounts. I'm presently building a 2056 with Raby 9550 cam, so I'll be swapping engines in the near future. The swap will be a complete long block, tin and all. Pull engine, install trans, and install new engine. Now to my dilemma.
Should I, 1. pull the trans and replace seals and clutch only and drive? 2. pull engine and trans, replace seals, clutch, and pushrod tube seals 3. Pull it all and wait for the new motor and drive the truck? |

Pulling the tranny alone is easier and less risky (all things considered) than pulling the whole drive train, I have done this a few times now. The engine does not have to be disconnected from everything then reconnected, so there is less to touch, less to break. Pushrod tube seals adn motor mounts are easy enough to do with the engine in the car (its regular maintenance no need to pull the engine for this), unless you can put the case on a stand.
Don't make a bigger job out of it than it already is. |
