6 Manual transmission overhaul - general information
Refer to illustrations 6.4a, 6.4b, 6.4~ and 6.4d
Overhauling a manual transmission is a difficult job for the do-it-your-
selfer. It involves the disassembly and reassembly of many small parts.
Numerous clearances must be precisely measured and, if necessary,
changedwithselectfit spacers
and
snap-rings. As a result, if transmission
~~~ problems arise,-it can be removed and installed by a competentdo-it-your-
selfer, but overhaul should be left to a transmission repair shop. Rebuilt
transmissionsmay beavailable-checkwithyourdealerpartsdepattment
and auto parts stores. At any rate, the time and money invohedin an ovi%-
haul is almost sure to exceed the cost of a rebuilt unit.
Nevertheless, it’s not impossible for an inexperienced mechanic to re-
build a transmission if the special tools are available and the job is done
in a deliberate step-by-step manner so nothing is overlooked.
The tools necessary for an overhaul include internal and external
snap-ring pliers, a bearing puller, a slide hammer, a set of pin punches,
a dial indicator and possibly a hydraulic press. In addition, a large, sturdy
workbench and
a
vise or transmission stand will be required.
During disassembly of the transmission, make careful notes of how
each piece comes off, where it fits in relation to other pieces and what
holds it in place.
Before taking the transmission apart for repair, it will help if you have
some idea what area of the transmission is malfunctioning. Certain prob-
lems can be closely tied to specific areas in the transmission, which can
make component examination and replacement easier. Refer to the Trou-
bleshooting section at the front of this manual for information regarding
possible sources of trouble.
