help needed with 904
Okay went down to Portland Transmission first thing this morning and brought my seals. We looked at a seal kit and it still wasn't right so he brought out the three boxes of miscellaneous kits. We found the seals and a couple extras in there and he was kind and said just take them. Thank goodness this place is here in town! So like I said I could have it all apart in one minute and all be together the next and as a matter of fact it's together! at least underneath the valve body. But this is ADHD transmission here so I got to take her back apart! I had .060 Clarence so I'll have to take out the thrush washers and get bigger ones. But I believe that can be expected? I'll have to double check double check the spec on this transmission to make sure but I'm pretty sure that's way too much. it should just be a 15-minute procedure at the most. Like 5 minutes to take it out in 10 minutes to put it back in if that. It'll be the drive down to Portland Transmission take much longer. I was doomed to take another trip down there anyways the tail housing seal or I should say slip yoke seal was too small on the outer circumference? Good gravy...
I'll share a couple pictures here first the picture of that little piece of metal I used in the vice to get the center spring that is the third reverse drum. I wouldn't even want that tool that you have to buy it looks like it would take a lot longer. That was just a piece of looked like 3 inch stock I had laying around and I had to beat it in the center to make it a little wider and beat it back and forth till I got it just right. The second picture is a looped lag bolts that I had in my scrap bin and made them into adapters to put the transmission on my motor stand and I was able to tilt the stand back to work on the modulators.
