5 Speed Transmission inspection and possible rebuild.

I found it. It has a M10 threaded bar, but M12 will also pass through the socket.

If you look at the wood, you can see the indentation from the extension housing. I added the socket to take a photo of the complete setup.

 

This would work in slide-hammer fashion also.

[EuroDat]

The edge of the socket is almost at right angles. I used it this way because it centered easier, but I understand your concern. It would work with the socket the other way around.

None of my large sockets have that shoulder on them. That would be really useful sometimes

Okay, new bushing installed. I tried to get the old one out. Built a similar tool as EuroDat but it was a no go. She was really tight so out of prudence I took it to a transmission shop and the guy had all the right tools and got it out. He also put the new one in but said it had less holes as the original and he decided to drill in two small oil return holes. You can see them on the pic. Cost me $40. He also
inspected the transmission for free for me. Said it looked good and verified it had be rebuilt like we expected.

progress is good!

Does anyone know how this oil gutter is supposed to be oriented? The FSM has a blow up but not sure if that’s representative of its actual orientation. The old one is broken off on my transmission but there is a small slit in the portion that enters the casing. Not sure if I line up the new slit in that same direction. There’s no telling if that’s right either. DaveWM or EuroDat may have replaced this gutter so if you recall please let me know. Wanna get this puppy back together today. Also is it just held in by it’s own tension?

I was in the same boat (broken off before I got to it) so I would suggest you set it so it looks like it will catch sling off from the gear and still upright enough to allow that oil to then have a chance to drain back toward the trough built into the rear housing so a guess would be  open side about 10-11 oclock. Don't forget to close the end. Don't worry if its not a perfectly sealed up, but make sure it pressed up solid against the plate to seal the outlet side as well.

That pic it the FSM looks like its set to about 2:00 oclock, pretty sure that is just for clarity of what it is, and not the actual orientation.

can you tell from the orig where the split was and therefore the o'clock position?

Great Dave thanks. I can see what you’re saying about getting the oil from the gear to splash into the gutter. I agree 10 o’clock is good. I found another pic in the FSM that helps a little. Take a look where mine is now. Also how far over did you spread the other side to keep it secure? Thanks for reminding me to close the trough.

I think you are good to go. Just be real careful when putting it back together. Have you decided on a sealer?

[Dave WM]

so for future reference the seam on the back side should be set at 12:00

[Av8ferg]

Okay got it. It’s at 12 and o’clock. I’m going to use Permatex Ultra Gray. Guy at transmission shop said they have the best of luck with that one.
