857lover 291 #1 Posted April 5, 2022 i have my transmission apart and i changed the bearing and now my buddy @danweikert21 is telling me that there are timing marks that should line up on the differential bull gear and the big gear in the middle but i don’t think that’s the case and i’m not sure what to do because i don’t want to put it together wrong and it’s a six speed trans 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 12,026 #6 Posted April 11, 2022 Aviation units in the military often send new techs looking for spools of flight line, buckets of rotor wash, and chem light batteries. Shocking how many fall for it. Was your buddy in the military? He seems to think like a vet... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shocking how many fall for it. First full-time job I ever had was at a pallet factory. A buddy of mine and I applied and were hired within a couple days of each other. I had messed around with bicycles some and done minor car repairs by then but he had no real world mechanical experience or aptitude. He came about half jogging by one day and asked if I had seen a particular tool and to be honest it didn't even absorb until later.... The boss had him going around asking everybody and their mother's mother's Uncle if they had seen the Board Stretcher. Not. One. Person. Told him anything. 1 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to be careful when selecting wrenches, so that they will handle both SAE and metric. 1 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snoopy11 5,714 #14 Posted April 12, 2022 The real question here, ladies and gents... is whether @danweikert21 actually BELIEVED that there were timing marks... We may never know... BUT... notice... post 3 occurs AFTER post 2... @ebinmaine... Don't forget... your tires also have timing marks when you put them back on the hubs... @857lover Don 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
