[Fot] Transmission Question

[jason at multivintage.com]

Well, interesting, Chuck says it doesn't come out.
Perhaps, mine is different? I've removed it from more than one and replaced it to work o.k.
Maybe messing with another spare unit will give you more helpful clues
Good luck from me to. I'd like to know what you find in the end.

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!

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.

That 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...
