Hi everyone
I'm into the last stage of my tranny tear-down/rebuild. The OD is completely
back together and the tranny will be back in one piece before the weekend is
over. The whole thing turned out to be more of a cleaning exercise then
anything else. All the bearing are smooth and look good. The synchro cups all
look OK as well, and given the quality of the ones I got from TRF, I'm putting
the original ones back in, only swapping 1st/4th and 2nd/3rd to put the freshest
ones on the lower gears. Only problem is I can't return the TRF ones 'cause I
got them through the 100 Grand Sale.
The OD is now spotless inside and out, the solenoid checks out, all the springs
are springy, and all new o-rings. The main reason I tore into this was that the
OD never worked, and according to the POWNCF (that's "previous owner who never
changed fluids") it hasn't worked for over 15 years. The car (and tranny) only
have 60K miles so the OD really only has about 25K miles of use! The dash
pot/pump/filters/sump were really gunked up so I'm hopeful it'll now work.
So, how can I test the OD while the tranny is out of the car and on the bench?
I recall seeing some posts a long time ago but a search on ListQuest turned up
nodda.
