The syncros in the last 2 pics look a little chingered up. Is that just to show the hub placement for eack gear???

I am all ears and eyes, any way to get a list of what tools are needed? IE to install the mainshaft bearing, heat the case with a torch or press fit the bearing using a arbor press? (Talking out of my arse here, but you get the point)?

WAY COOL THREAD!!! Thanks Mendeola for posting this! It is very informative and cool to see what's going on inside these transaxles! Thank you!

Thanks for posting this info. I don't even have a 2D but found the info usefull.

This shaft looks a little pitted. Is it in a non-contact area where it doesnt matter? Great Thread. This needs to be made a sticky at the top.

this was for display only yes the pitting is usually sandblasted off and can be sanded smooth.

WOW
Looks pretty crazy in there.

Nice work guys, this is the reason I take mine for servicing. I do have a question related to transmissions. I have a mid engine with a 2d. Shifting is about as bad as it gets with what I have, cable. What type shifter works best for the mid engine?

Mid engine cars are very temperamental.
hard linkage is best, but chassis tend to flex and that distorts the signal.
cable is good but with chassis flex and cable stretch it can be a nightmare as well.
If I had the chance to build my mid-eng car I would use the AJ speed shift hydraulic unit.
I feel this would be consistent in a mid-eng car and makes it shift sequential which is easier to drive when dicing it up in the dunes.
the important thing is to take the time to learn the in's and out of your shifter and adjust it.several times.

Way cool thread. Keep them coming.

wouldnt a tapered main bearing be better then that torington bearing

A tapered main bearing would need to be pre-loaded.
That position is difficult to keep pre-loaded with the forces exerted there.
good question

Great thread but where was this when I was rebuilding mine? LOL

Ok....newbie question...is it possible to get to the reverse gear through the nose cone and mid section removed??on an "E" box

Thanks! But way over my head! Thats why I take it in every year!!!!!!

No, you will need it disassembled from the bellhousing end as well.

Tom did you break reverse again?? Barb is going to be mad!!! oh ya how about jimmy.

No comment on both questions...."No Tranny Danny"

Just for shits and grins ...how many teeth are on the reverse gear???
