I still have them 3 trannie s laying around at home  .
Winter is coming and now is the time to get them build.

The first is a new autocraft case with strait cut gearing and a quaiffe diff 4,12r/p vertigate shift

The 2nd is a new rhino case that wil get a 3.44 r/p weddle gearing superdiff  en lots of other goodies

The 3th stock case superdiff  steel forks timken upgrade 3.78 first pro geared and stuff

I wil take pics as i am working on them no smokecurtin here.
I hope you enjoy and we can learn

Cool Henri,

You've allready learned me a lot so I'm looking forward to this.

Thanks jesse.

Here i am pressing the new pinion bearing on to the weddle 4,44 pinionshaft
That will go on the rhino case.

Now i gently warming the case to slide the shaft inc a 1mm shim  in the case .
torqued it then checked the preload of the bearing .

Weddle told me to do a patern run out on the r/p and start with 1 1mm shim so no pinion depth measurement here .
next to do is find the carrier size and setting it with the correct preload .
To do this i use special tools and gagets.
first  thing is measure the total play.
That was 7,3 mm
so next adding shims and checking the preload of -0.10 mm
i use a dummy carrier and bearings for that
this operation is only to check and set the pinion depth

After adding the rigth shimpack and checked carrier spinning i removed the carrier again and took some  shims off the opposite ring gear side
so i can slide the ring gear towards the pinion and take the measurements for correct backlash
i heated the ring gear in hot water and placed it over the carier my little one wanted to know how a torque wrench worked so she torqued the bolts.
next i started to measure the backlash
to do that put the tool back in again an began to set i up the sopper and bearing at the end of the shaft .

more parts that wil go in this trannie
next time i wil run the patern to see if it is correct
for my there is only one way to do it and that is correct.
gr henri

nice to see how it is all done. thank you

Looking good Hen  ;) will keep contact  ;D

Getting geared up for tommorows job.

 ;D 7 speed typ1 transaxle? with a splitter?  ;D

Last week i did some patern runs on the weddle 3.44 that goes in to the rhino case.
tryed a few different shim set up s every time you change the pinion depth also have to correct the backlash as wel
Its a pretty time consuming handling .
But i am pleased with the result .
this is with the 0.70 shim under the pinion

I was not happy whit that result
it was a little heavy on the toe for met
So i changed the shim to a 0.60
And adjusted the backlash again and this is the result.

Just said goodknight to my little gears
Tommorow is wake up time again..

gr

keep the pictures coming  ;)

opdate ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ;) ;)

Very bussy at work
At the moment
The next thing to do is to machine the 3.78 shaft and instal a hard woodruf key
To fit the weddle gears.
I will post pics of the machine work thats involved
