Mark,
You are right about the lack of elasticity in the Aluminum case. My
question is, Did you take THIS countershaft out of This case? If so it will
go back in. The problem with a lot of closely machined parts is that there
is only one way/place that they will drop into place.
You may possibly discount all of this as I've never done this on a TR6, I
have done it on other transmissions however. I always found after taking it
completely apart that I reversed a tension spring or left some extra goop
someplace where it shouldn't be.
>From looking at Nelson's pictures on the Buckeye site, it looks like just a
bit of grit at any of three or four places could cause the problem you're
seeing.
I know it's not specific but if it came apart it has to go back together
Steve
I'm wondering if there is a safe way to just slightly expand the
internal dimension of the gearbox, just enough to get it in, and if so,
will it then return to normal afterwards. I fear there's not much
elasticity in the aluminum, but I'm no metallurgist.
