Re: Gear lube
Thanks Glenn. I suppose that’s a possibility. It’s been converted to an open driveshaft (I’m guessing sometime in the ‘90’s) but it could have been sloshing around in there for all that time.

Gear lube
I just changed the transmission fluid in my ‘47 3 spd. Along with the 90 weight out came something that looked like a shot or two of grease. Any ideas as to what that was (the transmission has been...

Re: Vibration
I doubt it’s wheel/tire related as there is no vibration at low speeds and seems to be more dependent on engine RPM; at shift points and above 45 mph in third. No tach installed at this time however...

Re: Vibration
Sounds like a plan. I’m going to drop the driveshaft and change u joints at the same time I do the trans mount. If that doesn’t do it I’ll have the driveshaft balanced.

Re: Vibration
OK, thanks guys, that gives me a good place to start. Think I’ll still change tranny mount as it looks pretty rough. Is there a torque spec?

Re: New (patients please)
Auburn is a bit far given the gearing in the old girl. I’ll probably do NSRA nationals in Kalamazoo though.

Re: New (patients please)
Thank you much one and all. I plan on ordering a 42-47 manual I saw on eBay. Seller says it’s a reproduction of a military manual.
