TR2 update - part 2
Sunday - Paul had an old cross shaft, a new cross shaft and a new clutch
fork he ordered for another club member - I picked them up. One of the guys
came over to help put the transmission back in - Turns out cross shaft
replacement was either drilled wrong or the Early tr2 transmission is
different. The new one would not allow the relase bearing on the fork - off
center. The old cross shaft worked but bound up when the retaining bolt was
inserted. Since the bearing holds the shaft centered we moved on without
bolt. I wished I'd driven out the cross shaft bushing and inserted it back
180 so grease would mo better. Transmission went in without a hitch.
noticed the transmission seems a bit well worn - no need to lift to get
into reverse.... We'll see. Also Wrapped up front brakes, too.
This weekend - installed master cylinder connected up all lines; adjusted
pedals and bled. Same for clutch; Could not get any fuel to pump. Took
airhose and put my had around gas tank and blew - was enought to blow gas
out near the pump -- old flex line was holy and thats why pump was not
working and my gas valve started leaking - my patch did not have longevity.
bypassed for now.
Next was to free up carb linkage - turns out accelerator cross shaft was
rusted and frozen - had to take that apart Clean and grease - what a pain!
Cranked it - got oil pressure - hot wired it and it runs. Idles quite
well. Took it out in the neighborhood - runs about as well as it stops.
The brake shoes are contaminated with oil and need replacing - 10 inch on
front 9 inch on rear. It did not rev up well, I'm grabbing a beer and will
go out and try to time it. Transmission is very loud - but the hump is not
installed...
But I did drive it - and somehow - it looks much better than it did just a
few weeks ago. So nice to be part of a car club - That was enough to get me
off my butt and get that thing going.
