Thought I would start a new thread for all to view and learn from.
Got the muffer and muffler bracket off for a better view. Check out the arrow below the hole?? more failure in case? Went ahead and drained the oil. Hope I don't find too much metal. Tomarrow I will start unbuckling everything so i can drop the tranny lower. Then we'll peer into the abyss..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) later Attached image(s) |

Made some progress today. Got everything unbuckled and lowered the tranny to a workable level.
Rear cover is being stubborn, but was able to remove the speedo drive (see below). Looks none worse for the wear (to my untrained eyes). Important to note that with the drive removed, I can see that the 30mm bolt is completely seperated from the pinion. So hopefully the worm/bolt backed off the pinion verses the pinion bearing failing. Thanks to Clay Perrine for the great phone support and keeping me out of the deep end. This club continues to prove that it is made up of super folks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Attached image(s) |
