What I Did on My Lunch Hour Working from home certainly has its benefits,:) not the least of which is, I get to work/play in the garage on my lunch hour… As you know, if you read my postings, the Zephyr developed a knocking noise coming from the transmission a week or so ago.:( My worst fear is that something in the transmission let go however, upon closer inspection, I don’t think that is the case. I’m hoping that the problem lies in the clutch and its related parts. At lunch, I started to disassemble the interior so that we could take a good look. I got everything out, that needed to come out, to give access to the transmission.

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour The Throw out bearing spring can be checked through the small vented cover and you can see inside of it.

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour I got the inspection cover off and the phone started ringing so I haven't had a chance to do anything else. Think I'll just wait till tomorrow before I get back into it.

If you do this tomorrow and you need help call me on my cell phone ( 602 ) 7231047 and I can help you . Frenchy |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Thanks Frenchy, I appreciate that. I put a clutch in the Zephyr around 8 or 9 years ago but, like most of us, I suffer from bouts of CRS more and more these days. Vic

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Wow! I don't think I have ever seen a Liicoln transmission before. A whole different horse....

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Vic
The first thing I would do is raise the back of the car and have it on jack stands than start it up and slowly put it in gear and bring up the RPM and see if you can hear the noise while you are inside the car to possibly identify where it maybe coming from. Let us know. Frenchy |

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour That's a great transmission!
I had one in a '40 coupe 50 years ago. Now I have one in another '40 coupe. |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Nice convertible Vic, that would be a nice addition to my 4 door !

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour All car makers made beautiful cars in the '30s.
Those Lincolns are a good example. Look at the crap they're putting out now. They seem to be in competition to make the ugliest car! |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Rockey, your '39 is really good looking. Hopefully our '39 will look as good someday soon. Vic

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Today’s Fun in the Garage:)
Mike, Don, John and Cliff came over to give me a hand with the Zephyr. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...2012/001-8.jpg After some troubleshooting, we decided that the noise was not coming from the gearbox but instead it was coming from the bell housing, clutch, etc. area. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...2012/002-8.jpg Mike got in the car and John went underneath to disconnect the torque tube from the transmission http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...2012/006-3.jpg http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...2012/008-1.jpg We got ready to lower the rear and discovered that the spring would not clear the cross member without the help of a spring spreader, which we did not have.:( http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...2012/012-1.jpg So, we decided that it was time for pizza:D and that we would continue next Saturday. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...2012/013-1.jpg |
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour A wise decision! :D
|
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Will there be pizza next Saturday?
|
Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour Pizza is as much a part of our Saturday play time as tools. Will you be down in the Sunshine State next week, if so; should we make a place at the table for you?
