Anyone got any suggestions on how to get the shift rod off the connector? (yes - I've removed the cone screw) I'm afraid to use heat because the dust boot is right there. I also don't want to hit it too hard for fear of buggering up something in the transmission. Tried pressing it out but can't get enough leverage. Right now I'm just soaking with liquid wrench and hoping.

Thanks guys.
Cap't QUOTE Age and mileage mean NOTHING to gear oil Makes sense when you stop and think about it. No combustion to break down or dirty the oil. System is pretty much closed except for the breather hole so there are not any contaminates getting in. I'll buy that. QUOTE I'd sure be wary of rust inside a tranny that sat for years Oh sure! Not bad enough that this poor old girl has rust everywhere I look now you have me worrying about the inside of it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I could have been blissfuly unaware of that possibility until the transmission siezed up. I can only hope that there was enough film on the parts to keep the rusties away. Mike, I got her out and on the bench. Too tired to do a lot of work on it tonight (work is the curse of the drinking class!) Definitely going to be heat, beat, and repeat. Locked the rod in my workmate and tried to get the coupler to rotate to break the sieze. No joy at all. I'll rig up something to protect the cover and go at it with a torch. QUOTE I would replace all the gaskets due to age and it being out already. Sure YOU would 'cause you're the evil tranny genius. Me - not so much - LOL. I broke out the Haynes to see what was involved and quickly decided that I could live with a little weeping. Then I read your article and it didn't look nearly as as overwhelming as the Haynes version. 'cept for that little bit about QUOTE Be ready for the reverse gear and its little bearings to fall out followed by QUOTE reassemble the 1st/rev gear stuff Right! Nuthin to it. With the Cap't concern about rust I may just have a go at it. Always wanted to see how a tranny works. |
