8 Speedtranny.

Hey im waiting to get the suburban epoxyprimed.. So i took apart the 8 speedtranny Rooster put in the crate whit the suburban..

it has a 1 inch Axel and a 4 pinndiff... so here are some pict of how it looked..

Ill started to get of the oil on the tranny, but it came only water... whit some rustycolor... so i took it apart and well..

All the gears seems to be in realy good shape.. the 1533 bearings was stuck:( but the other bearing are ok.. so ill started whit a clean up job to see if there was anny broken parts innside it..

and here is how it looks now and what i found..

Hi/low Shifter was good too

but not the other shifter fork,,

The 1533 bearings spinns easy and good now. i might need some seals and a shifterfork. i will try to weld it and see.. but i think it is castiron..

Just my humble opinion, but I'd replace the shifter fork rather than try to weld it. They're not terribly expensive and I'm not sure how a weld would hold up under the stresses inside the tranny.

As Duff said I would replace them..If I would have known I would have put them in your last box I shipped...Dang Kids!! :teasing-poke:
