[TR] [NET] Incantation

[Alex & Janet Thomson]

And just envision doing this with two halves of a farm tractor. Front axle and engine with flywheel at the front and transmission and final drives at the back end, all weighing about 12 – 15 thousand pounds combined. But the method is the same – proper alignment, a gentle touch (with the help of wheeled splitting stands), and lots of patience. Plus, the same rule still applies – never bring both halves together with force from the attaching bolts.

Thanks for the feedback thus far, gentlemen.

 

My effort only included the transmission. I didn't service or 

disassemble the clutch at all. I only replaced the throw-out 

bearing, the sleeve for the TO bearing, the fork and pin and 

the cross-shaft bushings. The output  shaft will now not 

turn when in gear, signifying to me that the input shaft has 

now aligned with the splines in the clutch.

Dave;

We’ve found that standing on your head while you turn the tail shaft a little bit at a time  with the transmission in gear helps to align the splines on the input shaft with the clutch. (You did first align the clutch with the pilot bearing in the end of the crankshaft, right? If you took it apart and did not touch the clutch, you’re ok on this already. ) also try rotating the transmission about the input shaft axis a bit. That helps to align the splines.

Good luck!

Greetings, listers!

 

I have now replaced the throwout bearing and sleeve on my OD transmission 

and am trying to re-mate it with the engine. It's been several days of jacking,

maneuvering and pushing the tranny, to no avail. One won't get closer than an 

inch to an inch-and-a-half to the other. Holes in the flanges of both line up, 

the engine and transmission seem to be on the same plane but that's as far 

as it goes. 

 

On what page of the manual is the incantation to speak over this effort?  
Must be spoken with a Limey accent, right?  :- )
