I have a question to the group. I have a 1950 Stovebolt with a 235 4 speed that was installed by PO. I have to replace the front bearing retainer because it is broken. Because the retainer is broke the transmission leaks a major amount of 90w oil. It looks like the PO welded the U-joint on the front torque tube in place. I really don’t want to pull the engine to replace the retainer but does anyone have any ideas. I thought I would drop the torque tube - and pull the transmission back enough to replace the retainer. Now I don’t know what to do... please help...
