Been Busy

Well Here Is My Next Task That I Am Going To Try To Temp To Fix And Im Not Looking Forward To. O.K. This Is What The Problem Is With It. Were The Shifter Shaft Goes Into The Transmission Leak Like A Sive And The Seal Needs To Be Replaced, Im Going To Pick The Part Up Today And Talk To The Guy And See If I Will Be Able To Do It Myself As A First Timer. (Never Worked On A Transmission before) Here Are A Couple Pictures Of The Transmission, Right Above The Big Bolt In The Picture Is Were I Have To Dig Into To Get To The Shaft.



Let Me Tell Folks Im Not Looking Forward To Doing This At All, Unless The Transmission Guy Tell Me It Will Be Easy And Even Then It Will Bug Me.

I never have work on tranny before... Good luck Mike.

Shouldn't be too hard. Just spread out a tarp under it so when the parts and springs start flying out, they will be easier to find.

Thats What I Was Going To Do Grumpy But Then I Talked To A Transmission Mechanic And He Said That It Could Be Done From The Top. Well Then He Said In Most Cases That The Transmission Would Have To Be Taken Out Unless You Could Get Up There Were The Shift Shaft Is. Then He Said That I Would Have To Buy A Tool To Do It That Way But It Would Have To Be Ordered, Then He Was Nice Enough And Said That He Would Sell Me His And Just Order A New One For His Shop What A Nice Guy.(Last One He Bowered Out And It Never Came Back.) Well Folks To Cut The Story A Little Bit Me And The Boy Got Up In There And Got The Job Done Without All The Springs, Bearings, And All The Screws, Here Is A Picture Of The Tool Set That Is Needed To Pull The Seal On The Shift Shaft. (P.S. This Tool Set Cost Me 60.00 Bucks And The Part Shown In The Picture Cost Me 3.00 Bucks.)

The Tool With The Bolt In The Top Of It Goes Over The Shift Shaft And Then You Need To Screw It Into The Seal Shown In The Picture, Once It Is Screwed Into The Seal You Then Screw The Bolt On The Top And It Pull The Seal Out. The Silver Looking Tool Also Goes Over The Shift Shaft The Reason For This Is So That The New Seal Can Be Tapped Into Place Even And Level So It Does Not Get Damaged, Folks The Hardest Thing To Do Was Getting The Tool Seated Into The Old Seal After That It Was A Piece Of Cake.
In The Picture The Seal On The Left Is The Bad One The Seal On The Right Is A Extra New One That I Bought Just In Case I Messed Up Some How.

good job mike ...ya had me lost on the 2nd screw lol .....ya that seal was bad sure looks kike it....as long as it went back together ....n ...there were no extra parts ....all is good .....good job bud

Good Job Mike; you are one smart man on all the mechanics and have a well rounded education and the smarts to go with it. My hat is off to you Mike and I honor you. And on top of that you are a great fisherman and I do have an 8X10 picture on the wall with you holding that single speck.

Glad to hear you got it done Mike. With two simple little tools costing $60.00, imagine what the bill would have been to have the shop do it for you??
