So--- my 72 tailshifter just ate one of the bearings in the intermediate plate. Not sure which one but those little triangular pieces sitting on the shifter cover were definatly pieces of an outer race!!! A friend has given me a side shifter of unkown vintage and condition. Providing the sideshifter is workable can I throw the guts in the tailshifter case and be down the road?? I need a cheap fix right now with a good rebuild later on when finances are available.
I'm assuming I have to swap gears on the pinion shaft to keep the R&P wear pattern the same and and use the same shims between the case and intermediate plate so as not to disturb that gear set up. Is this doable without any special tools? Will the different bearing on the pinion shaft throw the R&P out of whack? This little car has been my commuter rig (80 miles a day)and I would lke to get it back on the road as quickly and cheaply as possible. Thanks for your input. |
