I bought a tool from another member that was represented as a P225 equivalent engagement tooth removal tool. Unfortunately it is not an equivalent.

The width of the land that is supposed to mate in the circlip groove of the engagment teeth is too wide. Internal diameter is appropriate and the 2nd part that would be used to press the gear body is the right diamater. It's just that the land width is too wide to be used on 901 gear sets.

Tool is marked BTU P284S. Doesn't really show any signs of prior use. Guess I know know why it was unused. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Google not turning up any real info. Wondering if this might be a tool for 915 1st gear but honestly I've never worked on a 915 trans so I have no point of reference about what is different with a 915 1st gear. I only know it is different.

Anyway, I could modify the tool on my mill to work but honestly, it just pisses me off to have to modify a tool when I thought I was buying a P225 equivalent tool and the time it will take to set up and modify is more lost time & effort than just buying a new P225 tool.

Anyone know what the tool is? Literally looks just like a P225 too. @Dr Evil

I notice the P225 on the left has the same dog teeth marking on it as mine does after using it. I was concerned after I used mine a while back then figured the steel on the tool is softer than the gear box part, but still...

Why didn’t they made the tool so it would clear the teeth? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Mine is 16yrs old and has been very well used, like over a thousand times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
