[Fot] Transmission Question

[chasgee at aol.com]

That stud is splined into the case.  You won't be able to turn it. I think you
will have to pull off the rear housing, slide the reverse gear shaft out, and
make sure it goes back together with the lever properly engaged with the
reverse gear.

Good luck!

the stud.  I cannot get it to budge. How do you get it out?  I'm not clear
about how that part goes together, since that is not something I ever bother
with during a rebuild. It looks like it has threads on both ends with a
shoulder in the center.

would mean taking the OD off the back or at least creating enough separation
to losen the screw that locks the reverse shaft and lay shaft in position.

>> Speaking of the Gt6 box: I have fixed both of those problems with the trans
in the car. The side stud definitely... One time, that side stud you speak of
with the nyloc nut, just fell out during a race. I drove home and stole one
out of my dad's trans, replaced it, refilled the fluid... and raced the next
day. A good flashlight, tiny hands and lots of patience are needed but it can
be done...
