Let the good times roll...
I should just write "beer break" in the back of the tranny.

Did your kit come with new gasket between the 5th gear housing and transmission body? You've taken out the 4 pass thru boltsTcase rebuild, manual conversion.
I’m fine with him being more into Tranies than us. As far as I’m concerned he can be dubbed king of Trans. I’m happy to leave them well enough alone.You've officially beat me into the depths of the traniverse. Now that just sounds wrong.
Yeah I've done that one before. On new transmissions they just put that gasket in dry, that's what he's referring to.Did your kit come with new gasket between the 5th gear housing and transmission body? You've taken out the 4 pass thru bolts
so I'm just asking as Georg @ Valley Hybrids recommends making sure you do that front gasket as once the compression is
off it will eventually leak if not replaced and sealed. I use that red stuff he recommended. Just passing info along.
I have the receipt somewhere. 3500 in parts. 500 in labour.Years ago I paid to have mine rebuilt… 20+ years ago there were more than $1000 of new parts for it and the T-case. At the time I was busy enough with work I just paid for the complete job… I didn’t want to F up with $1000 of parts when I’d never rebuilt one before.
When I lost 5th gear by Haines in 2017, it never occurred to me to rebuild it. A new transmission cost $2400 andYeah I've done that one before. On new transmissions they just put that gasket in dry, that's what he's referring to.
This one appears to be glued on something fierce so I'll see how I feel about it climbing back in.
This h55 was rebuilt at some point before I got the truck. Dude used some intense gasket glue.
Parts bill was more than a new transmission.![]()
Yeah they usually do that to me when I'm installing the back half of the case.It can fall in.. somewhat. Not all the way it hits some oil splash guard or rib in the case before it gets eaten by the gears. Happened to me on the trail in low range miles form anywhere one time. Had to fish it up with a magnet while trying to get the lever clamp and threw bolt back on, not an easy task! (Note to self put neodymium magnet back in truck tool box)
Just a wee thing thing eh? That probably weighs more than the whole cruiserNice work o that case! I can sense a rebuild in my future as well. On the topic of trannys, I pulled a tranny and torque out of a loader today. Ha.
