Jake, We got the pictures! We're still catching up on our correspondence after Christmas ...
Okay fellers -- I successfully got the new bearings on the main shaft and got it reinstalled in the case (piece of cake). That was about 3 or 4 pm. Since then, we've (Peggy was in the shop with me
) been struggling with the clutch shaft. I can get the clutch gear to clear the countershaft without dumping all 18 mainshaft pilot roller bearings. The trouble seems to be with the clutch gear synchronizer. In reinstalling the clutch shaft, I seem to get it in 3rd and 4th gear at the same time locking everything up. I think the trouble is either in how I'm reinstalling the clutch synchro or the three clutch keys inside the 3rd and 4th gear clutch hub. What's the trick?
About 30 minutes ago I got frustrated, put all the tools/weapons down, shut off the lights and came in. Oh yeah, the dogs and I went for a walk in the falling snow.
Please oh please wisemen of 420's -- what's the trick I'm missing in getting that clutch shaft back in????
Thanks,
John
