Removing Transmission
Good morning,
After removing the differential and universal will I have to remove the brake cross shaft to remove the transmission from the car? Engine is staying in place. Thanks for your help. Al |

You don't have to remove the cross shaft.

Re: Removing Transmission
Removing the brake cross shaft does help some when re-installing the ujoint and rear end . It lets you line up the splines . It can be done with the cross shaft in place but for me it seemed easier with it removed . Norm

Re: Removing Transmission
Al,
I would NOT remove the cross shaft. If you take off the U-joint by using a 9/16 on an extension you can remove the U-joint and as jackson said have ample clearance. I like using some alignment pilots ( bell housing bolt size with heads cut off and tapered) to help in aligning it back so you don't torque the clutch disc and it's overall easier. I think about 2 1/2 to 3 inches I believe is good on the alignment bolts. Screw one in on each side. All the best! Larry Shepard Last edited by larrys40; 03-31-2018 at 03:44 PM. |

Larrys40,
I like the idea of using alignment pins in the flywheel housing to align the bell housing. Good one! Thanks |
