Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

Hey Tim! Glad it was helpful. It's not too intimidating once you get in there, and there are a ton of resources on the barn and other sites to help guide you through. I used Tom Endy's guides...

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

I was actually pleasantly surprised - the main mating surfaces were cleaned up but not overly blasted.



Thanks Chris, Merry Christmas! :)



Thanks Coop - I actually have a baffle in that...

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

Got my parts back from coating, very happy with how everything came out. Masking was well done and it's all nice and clean.

I'm going to give everything a quick rinse to get out any blasting...

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

I did my best to communicate the important ones to the powder coater, but honestly expect I'll need to do a ton of dressing/cleaning when I get the parts back.

It's a bummer but quality work isn't...

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

Thanks Coop! I thought the same but they are in fact rivets, pushed in from the back and then peened over on the front. Here's the removed one attached.

I ordered some 3/16 x 5/8 pop rivets to see...

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

Thanks guys - I feel the same here. The actual wear surfaces look good. I got the pinion bearing race, pinion, and bearings out today.

Here's a video of how they look. Feeling fairly confident...

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

The more I look things over, the more I think I might get away with re-using the ring & pinion and the carrier bearings and races. I'll wait to extract the double bearing race and pinion bearings to...

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

Got the rear end apart today once my hub puller arrived. All came apart well, but I was surprised to find only one left-side gasket and nothing on the right. It never did leak, but I can't imagine it...

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

Got it Terry - They did seem to be in good condition with only a slight wiggle within the syncro block itself. All was tight upon assembly. I think I will leave it for now as there was no...

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

:D



Good to know! Definitely drove it enough to cause damage.




Hey Terry - See post #10, the picture in post 9 had the input shaft loose from the case itself. In #10 I posted a picture...

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

I ordered fresh lock nuts, and an NOS lock washer. I had heard issues about the tangs on repro's catching the edge of the torque tube which may have been what happened here. Either way it seems to...

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

Unfortunately the boogered nuts and ring are the result of a previous individual, but it'll get fixed right! :)

Well, it would certainly appear the nuts moved since I saw them last. :eek:

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

Thanks Bill, appreciate everyone's help in confirming my suspicions. The noise was pretty apparent, but since I had so much apart I wanted to be sure it wasn't something else leading me astray.

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

Thanks for pointing that out Coop - Definitely saved me a ton of grief. Looks like a stock rebuild is in the cards in that case.

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

Deuce - You're totally right, that was on disassembly and the input shaft had already slid forward out of the case, on re-assembly it was correct as seen here (attached).

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

Nice Alan! I have a friend in the Walnut Creek area, I'm sure we'll cross paths before long.

Understood on the install. I am leaning towards a quick change rear end center section (Winters...

Re: Rebuilt Trans + Torque Tube, Groaning / Grinding On Deceleration

Thank you all for the feedback! I think Deuce likely nailed it.

Alan - Definitely drove it more than needed to toast it if there was a mesh issue. I'll try to do some additional diag with it...

Hello all!

Long time reader, first time poster. :D

Recently performed some sealing and light rebuilding on my '40 side-loader and torque tube combination under my '34 pickup. A failed throwout...
