Title: Transmission parts demand... Post by: bugnut68 on October 25, 2010, 18:05:05 pm Just curious as to what parts may be sought out or desired either by rebuilders or otherwise, as I have quite a few components sitting around from a couple of recent parts lot purchases. Mainshafts, gears, etc, etc... I've identified some of the components that I'm familiar with, but I'm definitely not very knowledgeable of the inner transaxle workings. Just wondering what the general interest is in parts that appear to be good, used components, like gear stacks and what not.

I can't bring myself to scrap it, by any stretch... I'll go through it and see what I have. Are gears ever marked with their ratio stamped on the gear face? Just curious what the numbers on them might signify.

Late gear stacks are usually fine-tooth, not as desirable as coarse. To find ratios, count number of teeth and divide. Before I go too much further, by "late" I am talking single side cover stuff, 1973+. Title: Re: Transmission parts demand...

I'm thinking I've got pre-73, as I know at least some stuff is swingaxle. Hope isn't entirely lost... I just need to go through my bentley and figure out what I'm looking at ;D |
