The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline T5 transmission rebuild overview

This video is 16 minutes long. You’ll see me assemble a non-world class T5 transmission. I made it for people who enjoy watching informative videos for the sake of education. It is not meant to be an instructional video.

I watched it. Excellent work.

YouTube actually lacked a decent, complete rebuild of a NWC T5.

Hey Lugnutz - I’m gonna have to tackle this job myself soon….inspect/rebuild of a NWC S10 T5. It will certainly need the input shaft swap, not sure if it needs a full rebuild or now.

Anyway, it looks in the video like you did the entire assembly of the tranny WITHOUT using a hydraulic shop press. Is the press needed for the ~disassembly~ phase on a full rebuild?

The short answer is yes. You need a shop press to carefully
1. remove the countershaft from the case.
2. remove the 3/4 slider hub
3. remove 5th and 1st gear together with the bearing between them.
4. Front countershaft bearing from the case and the rear countershaft bearing from the countershaft.

Fantastic Video, not to nitpick but the information was interesting enough that the background music was not needed.
