68 Mustang #13 Fix gearbox

The last post would not move the gear into equipment, except the 3rd and 4. Gang, and I decided to take it out to see what is wrong. The drive shaft, the exhaust pipes and the e-brake cable were removed to fall the gearbox too easier.

The 5 pictures below came the opposite, where #5 should be below. So wear with me and I will explain what had to be done.

This shows the floor socket on the tool car with an adapter and an extension tube to reach the gear. The Rachet belts were used to stop the trans. While the pipe extension has been changed for shorter, this was done twice to bring them on the top cards.

This is the reconstruction kit for my 1978 Sears Floor Jack with the exploded view of the pump assembly.

Disassembled jack parts. The reason why the jack is rebuilt is that it would not stay in the open position (worn out pump parts), and I no longer have enough muscles to securely raise the gear so that the socket was needed.

Above you will find the car, the Jack and the parts that are required to expand the homemade gear saddle that was manufactured for an earlier project.

I could get the trans. Without damage or myself, and it still looked in good condition, but they don’t know until they look into it.

In all gears and other parts, they looked in very good condition.

Below the rear shaft housing looked good with no obvious wrong buttons.

The only thing I could find was that the socket that I bought did not put all the way into the gear levers on the tail housing. After measuring the socket and the socket, the socket had to be rejected a few thousands in the crossbar to fit. After assembling the gear slide, everything was not necessary, but at least I know that the gearbox is in pretty good condition with little wear.

During the installation of the gear, the rear bracket sagged during installation. You can see that the rubber has broken off from the mount. This was an expensive part of over $ 40.00 and poorly done. A new was ordered, so I wait for parts to arrive again. I will update the blog when I bring the car back together.
