Now I don't want the "15 minute Oil Cooler Seal" Replacement Hoax (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
I have a grindy going into second gear and that is it. The gates are tight everywhere, linkage is great, bushings seem fine. How difficult is it to go into the tranny and update some worn bits? As a frame of reference, I have taken the engine out, did some fuel line and injector stuff, oil cooler seals, valve adjustments, exhaust and heating stuff...minor yet somewhat brave for a newbie. I have no problems spending cash, but I would love to give this a go if it is do-able. Please help me decide --> is it something I should do or farm out??? Cheers T |

Very doable as long as you do the research and prepare. I used the bondo's thread in the Classics section and Red-Beard's article (see his website) as a guide.
Get a gear puller or similar press for getting the pinion and drive shafts out of the intermediate plate (I didn't like the (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) technique....but to each his own). That is not to say, however, that you won't find other problems once you get in there. For example, one of my intermediate plate bearing fell apart once the pinion shaft was removed. I wasn't exactly expecting that.......but then again it was a 30 year old gear box. The whole process was really cool (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) good luck and enjoy! |
