What am doing?. Basically rebuilding my transmission because of a problem with second gear synchromesh, grinding when shifting into second gear.
Disassembly.
I removed the transmission from the vehicle and cleaned before stripping so I was starting with a clean work area.
Outer case removal
Reverse gear set removed and view of shift fork and detents
Input and Output shaft bearing retainer plugs. Note the plates I had to make to stop the shafts spreading when I undid the plugs. Left hand and Right hand treads and very tight with factory Loc Tight.
Gear Set removed
Differential gear set and reverse gear set removed
Removal of Output shaft bearing
I had to destroy the Input shaft bearing to remove it, nothing unusual here
Input and Output gearsets. This is as far as I can go, I simply do not have the tooling to dismantle these gear sets. Getting the bearings off is ok but the gears need to be pressed off and they are a tight interference fit so it is off to the transmission shop and I mean a dedicated trans shop that know what they are doing.
When I get the gearsets back I will post more images of the assembly procedure.
