Hi guys,
The drivetrain has been out of my project car for a couple of years. I'll take the engine apart, but I was wondering about the transmission. What do you guys think I should do? |

Hey Quebecer,
Have you been having any specific issues? Are you worried about the difficulty? I'm in the middle of my first tranny disassembly (now on the reassembly part). As long as the drive train's out, and you have easy access, I would say go for it. Jeff's link to Red-Beard's article is a great resource. I also found this classic thread helpfull for good pic's on the actual disassembly: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...=ST&f=5&t=18128 I've been having problems getting into 2nd gear, with some "sticky-ness" on 3rd and 4th as well, so I figured I might as well do a full rebuild. So far, it hasn't been too bad. Perhaps a few too many "special tools" (alignment jig, deep 30mm socket, dogteeth removal tool...), but so far it's been pretty smooth sailing. And it's a really nice feeling to know exactly what's going on in there. |
