my HJ60 revival (build?) (6 Viewers)

Did you lightly grease the input shaft where the throwout bearing carrier rides?

Yep , everything is ok ... But I should have rebuilt it before .... Just ordered a Kit from Radd cruisers in BC ... Won't go fishing on my first vacation week end ... But I should be able on the second one

Bugger.. sometimes projects just explode in scope dont they! Thankfully the H55F is well supported with parts/documentation.

I now wonder If im doing thetransfer case also .... Didnt order the kit for it but damn Im getting stressed about it and low on money ...

I have 3 Tcases laying around so at least one should be fine in the worse case scenario... I wonder if I can put my vacuum actuator on a regular t case tho because all the others I have are manual Tranfer case. Might as well just convert it to manual ...

Anyway im open to Opinions on it .... My deception level is pretty high considering all the work it implies

I would rather have a tight strong t case and a sloppy transmission. The rebuild kit isn’t really THAT expensive and if you’re going into the transmission you HAVE to go into the t case anyway. All you’ll have to do is press bearings in and out and reseal it. To skip it after all this work would be pretty silly. It’s not like it’s a $2500 job. More like $250. If you have to wait a while then wait a while.

yeah , I might just put it on credit to have it running ASAP.... Anyway , like you said I have to open it so I will inspect it before getting to conclusions...

Still not sure what is causing the noise ... bearings in the transmission for sure but I dont think its only that ... Anyway I will open it all and see.
