Transmission & Transfer Case

 

 

The transmission was caked in grease and dirt, and had some serious water penetration.

 

The water had caused some pretty serious damage.

 

Once again, at least a pound of grease and dirt was removed from the outside of the case, and a thick mud was inside the tranny.

 

The countershaft had the most damage (see below).

 

Here are all the parts laid out for inspection.

 

There was some pretty serious pitting on the countershaft gears.

 

The 1st and reverse gear was also pitted.

 

The oil slinger is also heavily rusted.  Many people leave this out after a rebuild, but this one will be replaced.

 

The case was stripped and painted.

 

The assembly starts with installing the 88 needle bearings in the new countershaft gear.

 

Back together and good as new!

The shifter gets some new threads for the shifter knob.

Good as new!

Welcome to my world.  It's a world of grease and dirt.  Here is what removing the e-brake drum revealed.

Everything gets disassembled, cleaned, and painted.

One of the transfer case shifters had some broken threads, so it gets ground down and rethreaded

New seals are installed.

All new e-brake hardware.

And good as new!
