[Tigers] tranny

                Have you checked the shifter forks alignment?   Workshop Manual, section E, Page 4.

 

Yes, the transmission can be removed without taking the engine out but still an involve procedure.

 

I had help with all this at a friend’s garage.

Removed bonnet

Drained coolant

Removed radiator

Remove shifter

Remove the drive shaft

Disconnect clutch slave

Supported and move engine forward with engine hoist– this requires disconnecting all the normal parts to allow this

Remove tranny bolts

Remove transmission

Put engine back in position

Repeat to install transmission

 

I may have missed some steps and order but you get the idea.

I believe others have stated that you can just pull the transmission out and that may very well be but I thought it was too tight for that.

Members--I inadvertently put synthetic fluid in my  toploader (66 tiger) and now it won't go into third or fourth easily as before.  I have renewed with the correct fluid for the third time now with  several hundred miles  to no  avail.  Any other flushes recommended or do I have the tranny rebuilt?  Another question is can the tranny be taken out without  the engine being removed??? I  believe the synchros being brass have absorbed the slick stuff to disallow them stopping very fast. Hoping for some wise advise as you all have come thru for me in the past very nicely.  Thanking in advance.     rtscolgan at yahoo.com <mailto:rtscolgan at yahoo.com>
