Ok I want to make this comment here instead of part 4. Lot of people including my self have had a hard time pressing the 5/6 driven gears on with out causing damage to bearings. Not sure if all t56 are set up the same but I was able to pull my case off with 5/6 gear still installed. Mine got stuck cause the tolerance was to close on the new shaft. Once the case was off I was able to take the main shaft assembly to the press and take off the gear to inspect for any damage. You can press the gear back on this way and reinstall everything. So in short I would build the shaft up shown in these video except when you put the case bearing and little oring on I would press the 5/6 gear on with the main shaft off the front plate. This is of course if your 5/6 gear will clear the opening on the case the main shaft stick though. Hope I made this clear enough.
Very good videos, thanks for the information! But just for future reference most people do not know what a "mil" is, unless you are talking about paint thickness on a car. .001 is called a thousandth, .0001 is a tenth of a thousandth and so on.
@@SlideruleRacingProducts thanks did not know that. Ive never heard a machinist use mil in automotive or aviation language. But looks like you are correct sir. My apologies.
Just for the record you never do this laying on the side, it will never be accurate. It HAS to be standing vertical. I have done it both ways and found that I'm off anywhere from .002-.004" with it laying down.
In U.S. machinist parlance, a "mil" is 1 thousandth of an inch. U.S. Machinists will say millimeter if they mean millimeter. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousandth_of_an_inch
@@SlideruleRacingProducts Thanks for responding after so long. I moreso meant to ask if you compared the existing shim thicknesses you removed with the ones you added.
If the clearances are too small and the shafts are so snug at room temperature that they are hard to move by hand, then I think your mechanic is playing with fire. The aluminum case will expand slightly more than the steel shafts when they heat up, but I wouldn't risk running with clearances too low.
Chris Bruno so you think something got broken inside? ua-cam.com/video/liLfaloGtlo/v-deo.html I can shift with engine on and feels fine but I can't with engine on and if I start it with first gear engaged the truck bogs like if I was pushing and releasing the clutch quickly, thanks by your reply.
Thank you for sharing so much info, I appreciate your explanations, very helpful
Glad it was helpful!

good series learning a lot, as far as the mills go i figured you were talking 0.31 mill because 31 mill is like 1 1/2 inches

@@SlideruleRacingProducts that crazy imperial system you use, ha ha. super confusing for us metric folk..
when you are talking about mils, are you referring to thousandths in inch terms or in metric terms like .32 of a millimeter...... I'm confused
Forged Shaft, 1 mil = .001"
That's really confusing. I was trying to figure out if he was talking fractions of a millimeter. Hopefully not over an inch lol

I know this was a while ago but I'm curious in case you remember. Did you compare your final shim numbers with what you started with?
I didn't measure clearances before disassembling - not sure how you would even do that unless you did it half way through the disassembly.
@@SlideruleRacingProducts Thanks for responding after so long. I moreso meant to ask if you compared the existing shim thicknesses you removed with the ones you added.
@@millerfawaz151 Ahh..I understand. I don't remember comparing the stack I ended with against the original shims.
What if the shaft is too tight? I can't turn the shaft by hand but my mechanic is very stubborn and says there is no problem.

👍🙏
That would be a thousandth of an inch. Not a mil. Solid videos none the less.
It's a mil. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousandth_of_an_inch
