<DIV>This is a follow-up to this thread.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The "washer-adaptor to gearbox", #48, Washer 3H 550, in the diagram appears
much larger than the threaded and knurled connector that threads onto the
transmission. This is probably because it is not necessarily to
scale. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In a baggie of parts from an old right angle drive, I found a small
"washer". It is brass, .642" OD (about 5/8 to 41/64 inch), .388"
(about 3/8 to 25/64 inch) ID, and .025 " (about 1/64 to 1/32 inch)
thick. It has four notches around the outside edge. It drops nicely
into the brass connector. If this was a substitute solution to the
problem, was it adequate? On that old drive, the square piece that is
attached to the gear and goes into the transmission is broken
off. That appears to be the failures that were occurring.
Maybe that brass washer wasn't thick enough. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In looking back at old e-mails (2009)., I find that there were
comments about putting a washer in the connection at the speedometer to relieve
any tension due to the cable being too long which appeared to be a problem at
the time.</DIV>
