Needle Bearing Video: • How To Rebuild a Munci...
Paul I'd like to say thank you for this video. You helped me completely rebuild my super t10. I won't be able to test it for a while, but darn near everything in it is new now, and I did everything you did, even used anaerobic gasket maker.
Just wanted to say thank you for the video and info. I successfully rebuilt my super t10 with your parts kit, book, and videos. Today was the first day i was able to take it out and put it through the paces and couldnt be happier. I've never touched a transmission before but after watching your videos taking it apart and putting it together about a dozen times and pausing it as i went i had no real problems. Really appreciate it.
Great to hear
You are a lifesaver with all the info. I’m rebuilding my iron case super t10 and thank god you talked about the reverse idler thrust washer. The motive kit I bought has the washer with a tang in it, but my housing doesn’t have the provision. I saved me from just sending it and installing the wrong part
Its amazing how ungrateful and demanding some people are these days.You'd think they were waiting for a video they paid money for lol.......I really appreciate what you do and I know it takes a lot to put a video like this together.I just learned more in a hour than I have in a year or so of tearing down j-yard gear boxes.
Thanks for the great feedback. Much appreciated.
The whole package is as good as it gets, we already know the transmission is top shelf and the mods Paul does to the
shifter to make it shift as clean as possible I just don't see how it could get any better than this, It cannot.
In reference to your drilled holes in the mid plate, what size drill did you use?
3/8
@@GearBoxVideo Paul thanks so much. Really appreciate the videos. Haven't been able to find anyone near me that even touch manuals any more. Truly a Godsend! Ordering your book as well as a rebuild kit for my car. Thanks a million for fantastic videos!
This video was quite helpful. I found it easier for me to pickup the reverse gear during installation of tail housing by keeping the transmission horizontal and letting it hang off the table slightly so I could mate it to the main case.
Paul you do the best rebuild videos, I really learn from you. Thanks for your time Sir.
Thank you
Thank you so much for these videos. I can't send much to you now, but Iit saved me spending money I don't have at a transmission shop.
Thank you so much!
I talked to you yesterday sir and I am ready to go with this type transmission for my 78 type LT Camaro. I have a thirst mostly to learn more than Muncie gearboxes. I hhave owned this car since I was 23 now I am 54. The car hasn't been on the road since 1993 :-(. Saginaw is fine but better is better :-)
That Corvette removable crossmember makes the conversion going from Auto to 4-speed easier, on the factory 4-speed cars the crossmember is welded in place.
That was one sweet shifting transmission. Great video also....keep doing what you are doing
Thanks!
Having used other shifters than Hurst do not even think about them, Hard changing, vague changing. Use the Hurst,,, like a knife through butter. Lovely
I'm halfway though rebuilding my '75 T10 after watching your Super T10 videos, buying your book and your rebuild kit. The detail and narration of your rebuild videos is spot on. Can you please post the part numbers of your snap ring pliers? Thanks for your time!
Awesome, thank you! I used Wilde pliers. here is a link... amzn.to/3LiBdWn
Looks way more fun to drive!
My last T10 was a nodular iron case with an alloy side panel!!
A smear of silastic here the pin meets the bellhousing is a great idea as well. Nothing worse than a weep of oil from it. Seems worse on steel bellhousings as well
I bet you know more about the T-10 than the engineers who first designed it. I had one in a 1965 Buick Skylark Gran Sport. Still remember that whine in 1st gear. Lol
Dont get confused with the original T10 generic to many makes and models. The Muncie replaced that in GM products in turn was replaced by Super T10 in about 74.
It’s a great thing to do what you’re good at and like to do along with doing it all with a dear friend you’ve known a long time......... well done and we’ll done 👍
Thanks for that
I’ve got a 96 Silverado with a 305 & a NV 5 speed ....... still shifts good and no noise w205000 miles ...... if I ever go through it, I’ll be sure and watch more of your expertise 😉
I haven't done one in a long time
@@normsweet1710 I've done one and let me say its quite an experience lol especially the early version with 3 shift shafts. Don't care if I do another anytime soon.
another sweet video !
Nice!! Great video as usual!!
Thanks for watching!
Great informative and helpful video !!! Thanks !
Keep going.
Thanks!
Nice build Paul!!!, I think i like the Super T-10 now. HaHaHa!
Absolutely a beautiful build Paul. Which one is better? Muncie or T-10? I like how you cover every possible area so no leaks can occur. Call me a gear head but I find this entertaining.
Thank you. None is better than the other. Just depends on the application
high skill work
Notice how good Paul set up that shifter ? I'd love to own that car.
Really a smooth ride.
Great video helping me out tremendously very well explained I had to replace all gears in St10 I took you’re advice from you’re video with using sandpaper to fit my synchros to the new gears do you need to perform that to the surface where the input shaft needle bearings sit thanx Tim
Not to second guess you, but for longevity, wouldn't you want those two large bearings continuously bathed in gear oil instead of the factory fill grease sealed inside them? Perhaps remove the seal from the inward facing side of each bearing for better lubrication of the rollers inside?
Oil still gets in them. GM has been doing this for years and we have seen zero failures. This is what the later GM factory transmissions had in the 84-88 Corvette. All our road race boxes run sealed bearings... Again ZERO failures.
Ahh okay got it. Just wondered about that. This is a great video. Love those manual transmissions.
How do I get 1 for my 84 c4 corvette? Richmond 5 speed transmission
Hey Paul, thanks for the great videos and books. I just purchased a T10 Rebuild kit from you but I was wondering if you ever encountered a input shaft bearing that no longer stayed in the housing (i.e slides in and out without much effort, doesn't even really need a press fit)? It seemed to even allow the input shaft gear to eat away at some of the housing. I know the bearing retainer should keep the bearing in to some degree but I'm at a loss of what would cause something this severe.
Thanks again Paul!
I had a S-10 Blazer with a 4 speed it was 4 X 4 indeed it was a 4 speed and not the 5 spd. that came in newer models the shifter was on the top.
So random question seeing u know t5’s real good how many hp and torque can a stock t5 handle out of a 1990 Firebird? Thanks Hoping it can handle around 300 hp and torque.
Transmissions that are installed in factory applications are designed for their intended use and nothing more. That is my general rule. A car manufacturer isn't going to pay for a transmission that for example may handle double the load capacity. You also have to keep in mind that these transmissions are old and it's hard to determine what life they may have left in them.
Paul, Nice build!
I have a Doug Nash 4+3 in my small block Chevy powered Austin Healey 3000. I replaced the momentary
switch in the shifter with an on-off type and an led in the dash to let me know when overdrive is selected.
The problem is during spirited driving in the twisty mountain roads in second over where I'm in that gear for a
few minutes, it will stick in second but a light bump from an open hand allows an easy shift to third. It won't
stick when running through the gears, up or down. I used AC Delco 10-4033 gear oil. Any Ideas?
The 1-2 slider digs into the hub. They were not hard enough.
Hi - I just watched the "rebuild Super T10" video. I found your UA-cam channel when looking for best info on transmission. It looked like you used Driven GO 80w90 oil. My use for my ST-10 is short road races (vintage racing). Is this the best oil for thatpurpose?
The Royal Purple Max Gear lube has been a favorite as well
Hi Paul, thanks for the great videos. My Muncie in my 1969 Z/28 falls out of 1st. Gear at first couple of blocks when taking foot off throttle, cold no load on trans. Hurst shifter feels sloppy also. Could falling out of gear be caused by sloppy out of adjustment shifter or is it internal? Thank you.
Try removing the stops of you have any. These transmissions rarely fall out of first
At what point was the gear oil added to the trans in this video, after installed in the car? How much does it take? Thanks
Do you have a part number on the flat headed bolt that goes in the back of the case next to the reverse idler gear
Is it possible to remove the tail housing and replace the mid plate gasket without taking the entire S T10 out? 1974 Firebird, '70 Pontiac 400, 1975 BW S-T10. Have a leak. Not too bad, but want to make it right. Thank you for your videos. Watched them many times.
No it is not
Is a 81 Super T10 capable of handling 475hp, 505 lb/ft? Had trouble shifting j to gear under load. No grinding, just hard to push the shifter into gear. Sending out for a rebuild but wondering if it’s even worth it.
They were designed for the factory horsepower and torque ratings the team in those cars for that year and very little more
I have a 1978 super t10. When I slide the yoke in and out of the tail housing air comes out of the case vent. Is that normal?
Yes
great videos thanks , do you have a shop in s fla, my brother in west palm has a 1974 sd455 with a borg warner super t-10 4 speed, he got this car from our father , some how dads mechanic made an error and third gear is 4th and obviously when you pull into 4th its third gear, car is not driven much so brother never got fixed ,car has 39,000 orig miles and last florida auto tag was in 1992. thanks for your time
The 3-4 linkage arm is upside down. Flip it so it is pointing up look at my shifter adjustment video and look at the placement of the arms
thanks for reply , i didnt think trans was taken apart , i was hoping it was linkage
I have a super t10 in my 66 chevelle, motor was dyno’ed at 475hp, 503ft/lb. Right now I have the 6 ring, 3.42 1st gear. 1. Is the transmission strong enough to handle the motor. 2. Should I switch to 2 or 3 ring? Most of the driving I’m doing is street cruising.
It depends on the axle ratio, which you have failed to disclose. Tranmsmission and rear work together. 3.42 will usually break since it is ultra wide ratio.
@@GearBoxVideo 3.36 10 bolt posi
2.64 ratio is the way to go
I have a new Super T10 on my 79 T/A it will jump out of second gear on deceleration sometimes. Any recommendations as to what I should check for?
You will usually need a second gear and or a complete 1-2 assembly sometimes the thrust surface of the hub wears
@@GearBoxVideo thanks for the quick reply! not what I was hoping the trans was brand new with less then a hundred miles on it, took it back and they replaced the locks and synchros put it back in and still happens occasionally. Was hoping shift linkage adjustment.
Great video! What does a Hurst shifter provide over the stock shifter? I'm getting my ST10 rebuilt now and I'm wondering what all I need for short, crisp shifts. Thanks!!
If the stock shifter is NOT a Hurst shifter then you have no center bias as well as a hurst shifter is designed to ease into 3rd from 2nd
@@GearBoxVideo Do Hurst shifter sit higher up than stock shifters? Do the shift rods clear the floor? Thanks!
No they don't. Since you can bolt on a variety of different handles you can customize the feel
@@GearBoxVideo thanks!
How do you turn the gears into place to get ready to replace linkage...
Spin the input shaft by hand. Or if in the car , have the rear wheels off the ground and turn the driveshaft by hand
Do you think 2.88 gear set will hold up to 450 ft lbs!
dwownds on the axle ratio... usually not good for drag racing
Hey, Paul great job on the super T10.. how much is the super T10 rebuild kit
See my shopping cart www.5speeds.com/cart for kit prices
Side cover leaked all my oil out and I didn’t not realize until it was too late and now I suspect my main bearings are burnt up. Is it possible to replace the main bearings without disassembling the entire transmission?
Watch my Muncie tapes series. This way you can see what is involved.
Curious why you suspect the main bearings are toast. I may be in the same boat unfortunately. A local shop rebuilt the trans a few years ago but I had major problems with them so don’t want to take it back. Just noticed the leaking and a little bit of noise in neutral that I don’t remember before. Could’ve been there though, I’m not positive. Not sure if that’s normal or not.
Ball bearings can survive on little oil. Usually the gears will get scuffed and gouged out because of low oil levels.
Good info, thanks for your response. Your videos are invaluable
Hey My Brutha so Can I ask you why any rational Man would want the Stick frame when the Auto frame is light years better ?
People like to shift gears.
Hello guys! I have a problem with my Audi a3 8L 1.6, manual transmission, from 2001 and i wonder if you could give me an idea on what might cause it. Sometimes the car has shifting problems. It goes very hard into gear. first gear is especially hard to engage. when i go into reverse it grinds a bit. But all the gears are difficult to engage, not just 1st and reverse. This happens only when the engine is turned on. With the engine turned off, the shift works perfectly. In some cases, if i turn off the engine, wait for a few moments and then start again, the shifts return to normal and the car works just fine. the strange thing is that this happens only from time to time and it's not a permanent problem. Could it be just a worn out clutch or pressure plate. I think my transmission is a 02k model. thanks!
You have a clutch release issue. Could be bad hydraulics such as a master or slave cylinder.
thanks for your answer!
This was a very informative video, as was the Super T10 disassembly.! I am trying to determine an issue with my 1975 Corvette Super T10. Following a previous rebuild by another party,and having noticeable gear noise, I have disassembled the trans and noticed that First gear and the Forward Reverse Idler were making slight contact. I thought a Reverse Idler thrust washer might have been left out, but both were in place. What I did find was a missing spacer on the midplate bearing. Is it possible this could cause the First gear and Forward Reverse Idler to come into contact?
How should I go about removing 1st and 2nd gear from my super T10. I have 2 4 speeds. I need 1 to be a 2 speed for short tracks and keep one for 4 speed on longer tracks. The 2 i have were built for racing in ASA. and have never been ran.
Running a open wheel MODIFIED on asphalt the 4 pounds of weight loss could be the difference between winning and losing. I am in Florida also. I have looked everywhere for a tutorial. I cant find one. This is the closest I have found.
leave the 1-2 hub and first gear bushing in and remove the gears. Leave the slider and fork in. You can pin the 1-2 shaft to the cover in neutral to avoid it moving.
@@GearBoxVideo im in Sanford same state as you. I am used to running 2 speed muncie. Know how to build them, and know tons of people that build them in my area, Mainly BUZZY FUNK. This is the first time I have ever owned not only 1 but 2 Super T10 transmissions. Both are 2 ring inputs. BUZZY won't touch them. They are both freshly built transmissions. I would sell them and buy a Jericho, but we aren't allowed to run straight cut gears in my class. They just started allowing us to use 2 speeds. These transmissions came with a brand new LEFTHANDER MODIFIED I bought that has sat inside a trailer at a JUNKYARD in Melbourne. I have run into an issue, I have no clearance for the 4 speed HURST Indy short throw or competition plus short throw moded shifters. So I need to sell these and buy an M22
2 speed. . I have seen how much Super T10s are valued at on the low end. Im wondering if I should just get rid of what I don't know and get what I do know and have 30 years of experience working on. Advice?
The ST10 and Muncie have similar shifter mounting points. So I don't see what the problem is.
Do you have the transmission input shaft simply stuck in a flywheel as a makeshift fixture to assemble the tail housing?
No most fixtures bolt to the case. Why would you want to create a fixture to an item that must be installed?
@@GearBoxVideo I believe you have misunderstood what I'm asking. It looked like you had the transmission standing nose down in a flywheel as you were installing the tail shaft housing. Am I seeing it wrong? I need a type of fixture hold the trans to simplify my main shaft speedo drive gear installation.
No just a special fixture
@@GearBoxVideo This was clarified for me in another one of your instructional videos. You mentioned you were using an old case as a make shift holder of sorts while having the transmission nose down. Thank you, Paul for your responses to my questions!!! Elijah
Should you grease all seals on any manual transmission, I'm building a sm465.
Yes grease all seals so they do not burn up on the initial fire up
How did you go about pressing the bushing into the tail housing?
I do it on my press. With a cup that fits the bushing

I’m workin on a 1977 dodge d100. 4 speed it does have over drive. I bought a Chrysler a833 trans rebuild book. And I took it apart cleaned everything 100%. And I took everything apart the way it said. I put it together the way it said to as well. And now I’m a bit confused. When I spin the input shaft while the sliders are in neutral. It also spins the output shaft. And when I put it into gear it doesn’t spin at all. It locks up. I’m confused if I did sum wrong of it it is supposed to do this anyone have any idea? Am I not supposed to be able to spin it while it’s in gear, with my hand?
Sometimes new rings stick to the gears when dry. Use a yoke in the back and try and rock it loose. Dry shifting a transmission with new rings often times will cause the ring to stick to the gear. I have a video on Stuck Synchro rings. Search for it on my channel
GearBoxVideo I didn’t use new synchro rings the old ones looked good, no rounding of the teeth and the grooves in the syncro seemed alright! I can spin it when the slide isn’t touching any synchros. What as soon as I put it forward or backward it only always it to spin a very little bit back and forth. I greased everything when I put it together so it wouldn’t stick
@@caleb4750 One gear is bound up. Shift into every gear and try to turn input shaft. If it turns in only one gear, then that gear is bound up. In any other gear you have 2 gears engaged at same time in effect.
Great videos! Quick question, have you ever rebuilt a ST10 that has been run without oil? Me and my dad have been building his car over the last few years and long story short we forgot to add oil to our freshly rebuilt ST10. It started to whine pretty bad after the 3rd test drive. Just wondering if you think it would be worth tearing apart to rebuild or it there is too much damage done at this point. Thanks again!
Well when they whine the gears get cupped from lack of lube
@@GearBoxVideo thanks for the response, I guess we'll just have to pull the cover off and take a peek!
The welch plug that caps the hole in which the reverse idler shaft alignment pin is missing on my ST-10. Any pointers on where I can find a suitably sized replacement? I don't see the welch plug in kits.
It is a 1/4 plug available from Dorman
@@GearBoxVideo and quick question. My original BW ST-10 needs to be resealed. Its leaking right from the area where those two bottom bolts are as described in your video. Where the midplate mates to the extension housing. If I also wanted to replace the gasket between the other side of the midplate and the main case, is there a way I can remove the midplate with the bearing intact without having to extract the entire main shaft gear train? Looks to me like i can just remove the reverse gear, reverse idler gear, and counter retention bolt, and it should be able to lift straight up and off the length of the main shaft.
Thanks again, amazing video!
That would be hard to do.
This was a very well done video. Good job on the trans and video.
Brother I like the way the plated bolts look and the star washers great attention to detail.
Glad you like them!
I am disassembling a T10 transmission, following your instructions on your video. I dropped the counter shaft to the bottom on the case to remove the input shaft intact with bearing. It seems that it is not dropping down low enough to the bottom of the case. The outer race of the bearing is hitting the counter shaft gear by maybe an eight of an inch. What am I doing wrong?
Some ratios that happens. So using the case to support the input with the outer snap ring on the bearing press the input shaft thru

Depends on a few things like axle ratio, engine, HP and type of use. You have to look at the overall picture. Each has its own pros and cons.
If you're buying a used transmission, super t-10s are way less expensive. Just stay away from the Saginaws.

Hi, having hard shaking issues when releasing clutch from a stand still. Reverse or 1st gear.
Typical clutch chatter can happen from a number of things such as a bad pilot bushing bad mounts, oil on the clutch
Hopefully this isn't a dumb question but can the 4 speed manual have the gears swapped to be more like an automatic overdrive ratio gears? I have a manual 4 speed and would like an overdrive. I know the Doug Nash did it with bolting an overdrive to the rear. Why can't the gears just be changed?
It can be done but because there is little interest, no company is going to invest in the tooling, time and costs to do something on that scale.
@@GearBoxVideo Oh I see I thought maybe it was just a matter of swapping gears that had the same ratios as an automatic 4 speed overdrive.
Randall your obviously NOT a motorhead the room in a 4 sp will NOT accommodate another gear & slider assembly just not enough room bro why not purchase a Liberty box or Richmond sells a 5 spd Your asking why two completely different trans can't be more like the other . One uses hydraulic pressure Or fluid to operate the other a manual clutch ..
What a really nicely done video and build. I'm in the process of rebuilding my T-10 for my 72 CJ5. It has the Advanced Adapters kit to marry to a Dana 20. I bought your book, however, the video is the icing on the cake. Thanks Again!
Does the trans have to come out of the car to replace the side cover gasket and shifter seals if they are leaking?
No, but it's really hard to do it in the car.
How does the gear lube get into the tail shaft?
10 minutes into the video... Watch it
Very good job loved the video ! But I am confused about something why use sealed bearings for the support shaft ? I have been around cars most of my life and sooner or later the grease inside gets caked and heated up and contaminated and then you have bearing galling and the bearing fails. With an open bearing you are continually getting oil circulated through both bearings helping with not only cooling the bearing but bearings are also continually being lubricated with gear oil being circulating in the transmission. I myself would not go with a sealed bearing. Please explain to me why this is a better system to go on a standard trans?
Hi, thanks for your concerns. Your theory sounds correct but you may want to watch my video on bearings. Most standard transmissions with ball bearings today run sealed bearings. In fact most of the Vettes in 1984-88 with the ST10 OD had sealed bearings in the front and back of the 4 speed section with zero bearing failures over 100K miles.The theory is flawed because the biggest failure issue is DIRT. Remember there are no filters in these transmissions and in the output area people grind reverse often. Reverse sits right behind that bearing. One grind of reverse can destroy a new bearing dumping gear chips directly into the bearing before they reach the front magnet. Now I understand the "most of my life" thing. However try and understand that out of the thousands of transmissions built especially some of the top running units in SCCA, Historic TransAM etc..... ZERO FAILURES. What you don't understand that sealed bearings SUBMERGED in oil actually do get oil in them. Just because you think oil flowing thru the bearing is important for cooling, that is also not necessarily true. The outside of the bearing dissipates heat into the oil bath. Now if you are still paranoid about using a sealed bearing and worried about things that we have never seen happen just go with shielded bearings. You'll get some protection and more lube. Some people demand shielded bearings rather than sealed bearings despite my real world experience in building race transmissions with them. I'm always happy to give them want they want. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Hi Paul, many thanks again for your videos and your support. You helped me to solve the problem with the crack in the gearbox of my 85 Corvette with 4+3 (see comments further down).
A well-known seller in germany was not able to fix that problem and want to sell me a preplacement for over 6000 bugs. With your support we fix that crack within 10 hours of work and it solved the problem! As a thank to you, i bought your very perceptively workbench "How to rebuild manual transmissions". I am a fan of your work - keep going on. You are a gearbox-guru!! Geetings from germany.
Does anyone know what 5 speed out of a 1984 z-28, had a main case tilted to the left, was a mechanical clutch release, and a "top loader" the case ears looked like a conventional 4 speed except the lower right ear was longer than the rest?
It's a standard clocked GM bolt pattern. Same as a Muncie. It was clocked for ground clearance
GREAT VIDEO! you do a great job explaining important details with out any B.S.
Fantastic Video !
Ok look I started Drag Racing in the 70s and one of my first full time jobs was working in a local Full Service Transmission Shop. I was never a fan back then of running an Automatic so always ran 4 spds, (Muncie and Borg Warner) in the Chevy's I raced. I always ran Big Blocks and either an M22 Rock Crusher or a Borg Warner T-10....So it was only natural that as I worked at the shop to go into building Standard Transmissions...the guy who owned the place & taught me was what we called a real "Schister" (con man)...he could talk a Rattle Snake out of his skin yes he taught me the basics of how to but not the proper way how to....I did (without him getting wise fortunately) things the right way...by trail and error....most of the 4 and 5,speeds I was building were going in people Who were friends or race track competition and boy all I had to do was treat one of them like the boss wanted and my name would have been MUD....this was also the only job I was fired from in my life and fired for building things too good or doing too good,of a job....the owner never could grasp that fact and sadly it wound up costing him big time. I wish I would of had a guy like you to work for and show me the right way to do things, Who knows where I might have wound up working ? I ran all drag race prepped gears, did the face plate stuff, straight cut gears, pro shifted and so forth but with the advancements in Automatic (powerglide and turbo 400 and converter technology ) being a gear box guy got costly in a hurry. My last Gear Box Car was a Modified Production class 68 Super Sport Camaro with 427 tunnel ram 2×4 bbl engine car with a custom built 5 speed like liberty makes now.....man I miss that car.
Now days we we own 2 Nova's a 70 Super Sport with a 565 and 5 speed and a Street/Strip 72 Rally Nova with a nice 350 out of a 69 Chevelle SS and a Borg Warner T-10 I built myself with a Mr. Gasket 2nd Generation In Line Shifter.....so I can still re live the good old days...thanks again for all your videos you truly are one rare cat my friend.....If I need Parts I know where Im gonna call for sure.
Thanks Again.
Thanks for the great instructions. I used your technique for getting the cluster gear back into place on a T-85N-OD for a '60's Ford. Went right in!
Thanks for this video and book. I've rebuilt my 700R4 but I wouldn't tried this with out watching and reading video and book. Made it a breeze
Thank you for great content. What type of grease is safe to use on this shaft seals?
I use wheel bearing grease or Driven EPG grease
Thank you
We gon' rebuild!
Hey man i am an old novice my question is i pulled the flat case off of a muncie 4 speed tranny and went back to work in alaska when i got back i could not remember how the forks come out. High side up and in or visa versa
Muncie forks have no direction
I had to drop the cluster to remove the main shaft on the 3.42 first gear T-10 which meant rotating the mid plate to remove and re install the cluster shaft. Is that the way it has to be?
Yes, if you look at part one, the 3.42 has to assembled like that in reverse
paul do they make gears for the super t10 that are stronger than the original gears
Depends on the application. Stronger what what specific kind of use?
Paul, cause of a little crack in the adapter plate in a 1985 c4 (man trans with overdrive) i have to change the housing between super T10 and overdrive (where the rear bearing is in).
Any chance to change that housing without dissasemble the hole gear? Or should i do it like you do in the video?
Many thanks for that ingenious video.
Common issue. The crack happens at the lower adapter bolt to the transmission. Pull the OD off the 4 speed, clean the gasket surface and remove the lower 12 point bolt. Apply sealant to the bolt thread, install and fill bolt hole with sealant. Reinstall OD with new gasket. Problem is where the housing cracks, oil leaks around the gasket. Filling the hole blocks that leak. As a rule the hole is filled on every build I do cause eventually it cracks from flex. I stock the gasket, and OD filter kits
Okay, thanks a lot!!
So that means, that filling the hole stops the oil flowing into the adapter? Do i have to reinstall the bolt after filling the hole?
Which sealant do you recommend? Can´t find the gasket in your shop.
@@andreashartung8921 pick up the phone and call me contact info is on my website and and in my video
Hi Paul, I would like to call you, but the problem is that I do not speak and understand English fluently. Especially when it comes to technical terms.
So i pull out the gear and follow your instructions. And i think, that was it! I did not have to disassemble the gear to fix the problem.
As a thank you, I bought your book on Amazon. Is is great, you are great! Thanks a lot!
Edit: Sorry, one more questions: How much oil do you have to fill in the overdrive?
Fill up, drive, fill up, ready? My mechanic filled the oil on a lift during operation and now the oil runs out of the seal of the tv cable.
Thank you..
Hi, I rebuilt my super t10 for my 80 Z28, My 1-2 synchro sleeve is slightly "looser" or has more play than my 3-4 sleeve, Would you be alarmed?
Adam Gasiewski That's normal. I would worry about it
Would or Wouldn't ? haha.. This was my first transmission rebuild so I guess I am over looking. Thanks!
Congrats! Keep me posted on the results and post your build on transmissionbook.com
wouldn't...
