Jake Kuhn 1,556 #1 Posted December 2, 2014 Hi All, Didn't think I was going to tear into this one for a while, but ended up taking it apart today. I sure wish they were all in this shape! I got this trans in a deal a couple of years ago and its just been sitting. I am going to rebuild this for a 400 I'll be restoring in the future. All gears are in great shape. A few of the bearings are shot but some are usable. I have all the bearings and seals to rebuild a trans, so I will change them I didn't get many pictures, but here's what I got. Will get more pictures of when its all cleaned up. Thanks, Jake 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dclarke 4,034 #2 Posted December 2, 2014 That does look to be in good shape, Jake. I'm sure you'll have it like new in no time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,883 #3 Posted December 2, 2014 You have one with the needle bearing in the brake shaft...just looking at the pictures.. # 5010 for sure. I think you are starting to like these 3 piece tranys??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,556 #4 Posted December 3, 2014 Got it all cleaned up today, cleaned up pretty good! All gears are in good shape, but as I said the bearings are worn so I am going to replace them. sideplates are also not that bad either, not pitted, but they are a little beat up, I should be able to straighten them though, I'm going to prime and sand these like I did on the trans I just did for my 58. it will probably be a while before the plates get primed and sanded, so there probably won't be another update for a while. Here's some pictures. Thanks, Jake all new bearings and seals and the rest of the parts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bamaboyz71 3 #7 Posted January 6, 2015 Looking for some help! I have a 1960 wheel horse suburban and the Transmission started to grind so I took it apart and two gears we're eat up all my seals are gone and I think maybe be that is what done it cause of no oil but it's been down for two years and it's time to fix it. I would like to just buy one if I can and swap out to someone that can rebuild them. Thank you if anyone can help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hello, I do not have a complete trans for sale, your best bet on this is probably going to be tearing into it yourself and rebuilding it. I know a little bit about these, but not a lot yet. Stevasaurus knows a lot about them and is always willing to help. Post some pictures of your trans so we can see how bad it looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bamaboyz71 3 #9 Posted January 8, 2015 OK I will Thank you so so much! It needs Two Gears and all seals. I don't care to drop a few bills on fixing it cause it's a nice one. I'll try to post the gears tomorrow. Thanks Again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
