Sunstrand shaft repair

Recommended Posts

608KEB

I need some help disassembling Sunstrand Hydro and reattach clip that holds each shaft together in center of transmission. Also what would a suggestion be as how to place transmission, so it's easy to work on

I'm not a expert on this... I hopefully can handle it with some advice. Thanks!

You can mount the transmission on an engine stand

If you can tell a closed-end wrench from a chainsaw you should be able to ratchet your way through this. 

 

When we did the full restoration project on my 1975 C160 Automatic I had to split the case. 

THESE PARTS ARE HEAVY.  

Please use appropriate cautions, tools, and PPE.  

 

I had the pump off for cleaning. Set it aside on the bench. 

The lower case is similar to the Wheelhorse Unidrive manual transmissions. Just less gears in there.  

All parts are readily available from one of us or our vendors. 

 

I like @squonk's engine stand idea.  

 

Be prepared for thorough cleaning outside and inside of everything anything those things and all things. 

After that clean it more.  

 

Here's the thread from that.  

 

 

 

 

 

Let me know what gaskets you need. I may have them here. 

 

@pfrederi @daveoman1966 and @953 nut were very helpful on that.

There is a HEAVY DUTY snap ring on each axle that retains them in the differential. You should mount the snap rings with the sharp edge toward the opposite axle when installing them. You would be well advised to replace Flex Top lock nuts on the differential bolts, McMaster-Carr is a good source if you don't have a good local source.

Engine stand mounting would be good for cleaning but once you are beyond that point it is a table top project because the housing needs to be split.
