Hi Mike,
the orientation of the pump is as you have done:- it should only
engage the drive tang in one position and that position is arbitary
with respect to the position of the crank/jackshaft/pistons etc.
NOT SO with the distributor as you no doubt realise!
The plate you are refering to is there for spacing the trans. from the
engine block and to give the starter something to sit against. There
should be two bolts right at the bottom (the flat part) to stop it
flapping in the breeze. Although not essential it will help hold the
cover against the bellhousing and prevent dirt/crud entering the
clutch area.
The shavings you found around the magnet are there because the magnet
is.
Minute shavings can be evident because of missed shifts and normal
wear and tear.
Fit a new magnet, it is the only filter the trans. has, and nice fresh
gear oil and it should be OK if you had no troubles with it before.
The Service Manual recommends errrr, doesn't mention what oil!!
I have used Penrite Manual Gearbox Oil Light, GL4 rated 80W Gear Oil,
but any good quality gear oil should be OK.
DO NOT use diff oil in the trans. or vice versa.
Have a good one.
Regards,

Subject: tranny, oil pump, missing bolts questions for my 67 1600
I Reinstalled my oil pump today. I poured oil into it before I did
so. I
rotated it until it seated and then put the bolts in. this is the
first time
doing this so I wanted to get a confirmation in that it will only seat
when
it is lined up with the gear blade. am I correct?
while doing so I noticed that the plate at the rear of the engine
pan
area (at the front bottom of the tranny) seemed loose. it looks like a
cover
plate for the bell housing. there are two places for bolts to go but
there
are none there. Should there be bolts installed it?
I drained the tranny and the fluid looked ok. I did find small
filings
around the magnet. I pulled the drain plug assembly apart and cleaned
it all
out. the magnet was broken into three pieces so it is possible that
some of
the shavings were from it. the tranny has worked great so far. I do
not know
the history of the tranny. Assuming that the fluid has been changed
regularly what should I expect to find as far as wear and tear
indicated by
the magnet? what oil do you recommend for it?
sorry for the long e-mail. As always everyone's expertise is
appreciated!
