Re: 1936 Gear oil in Clamshell
Okay, so you find it easier to pull the motor and tranny as a unit rather than pulling the rear end back and then removing the transmission?
Thanks for your guidance

Re: 1936 Gear oil in Clamshell
Thanks! This is a big relief. So it sounds like you’re saying the rear bearing can be removed without dropping the transmission? I was thinking the bearing was pressed onto the shaft and I wasn’t...

Re: 1936 Gear oil in Clamshell
Thanks for the picture. After seeing this, I’m wondering if my slinger is completely missing. Something doesn’t look right with mine

Re: 1936 Gear oil in Clamshell
Ted, you may be right. I may be overthinking this. Maybe I’ll just let it leak out a bit and let it find its happy spot. Then recheck the level. I just see a lot of folks saying the fill level needs...

Well, I tried replacing the gaskets and seal in the clamshell and unfortunately the problem persists. In fact, it seems to be getting worse. So it looks like I’ll be pulling the reared back and...

Re: 1936 Gear oil in Clamshell
Update. I was hoping that maybe a new gasket and torquing the castle nuts to spec would solve my problem, but the leak persists. Guess I’m pulling that rear axle and torque tube. Grrr

Hi all,
I’m hoping you give me some good news, but I’m not optimistic. I’ve had a chronic gear oil leak behind my gear box and around the clamshell. I installed a new seal and double paper gasket....

Question.
Does the front floor need to come out to get to the universal joint clamshell assembly? Is there a link to instructions for this process? Thanks!

Re: 36 passenger door fitment
Thanks to everyone. I am planning to replace the bolts with flat head countersinking bolts. If that doesn’t work, I’ll remove the striker and mill the backside so it isn’t so high

Re: 36 passenger door fitment
I wonder if those two bolts heads are supposed to be flat rather than rounded on the latch? It almost appears that the door is hitting those two bolts heads
