Finally opened the trans again today! The piston in the front clutch was stuck about 0.2 inches up from the bottom again.. i knocked on it a few...
Yes i tryed that also. It does not apply the band when i put preassure on the release only. It did! But after i loosened the front band i could...
You have the same problem on a cruise o matic?
Did air pressure checks on the front clutch and front servo today. Really f*ing messy story haha. Both seemed to work fine though. I hear and feel...
Been busy with other things for a while, but tonight i got some time over to check the breaks. Had both rear wheels and breakdrums of but i dont...
Backed off the parking break at the equalizer until the cables where really loose. Could still feel breaking when turning the wheels by hand. But...
When i turn the left rear wheel forward by hand i can feel it breaking for a few inches every turn and when i turn it backwards i hear and feel...
Now that you mention it! I'm pretty shure it did.. but I when the whole trans was complete and bands adjusted it was hard to turn it by hand one...
I just followed the shop manual when i adjusted the band. Yeah I dont get the noise either.. its not metallic and does not sound "bad" and i dont...
The filler tube is in the pan, but the length of the case is small case and pan shape is also small case. Yes I removed the pan to adjust the...
I tryed loosing the front band a bit. Now i can push the car backwards when the motor is switched off. But it acts the same way with the motor...
Wheels of the ground: Reverse, locked wheels that moves just a half foot and then locks again when reving. Neutral, wheels start turning and...
Can the thrust washers be turned the wrong way?
Yeah the old frictions where really bad so thats probably why the marks are there on the spring. I installed a new hub on assembly. All frictions...
Used my extreme skills in paint to try to show hos the clutch was assembled. Last friction was about the same level as the hub.
So it should be hard to get the snap ring in? Din't know if it was safe driving it so i have just tested it a few feet. It revs just fine in...
Haha yeah i would have been surprised my self if everything hade gone perfect with this. Did not check clearance, but i used the thinnest...
Though when I put it together and adjusted the front band it was not tight on the drum in the released position
I have just rebuilt the COM small case in my 64 galaxie and as I suspected as i novice I have a few problems now when testing it. When put in...
Thank you so mutch, Bill! Got the piston out and replaced the sealing rings and then seated it right. Dont think the spring was the wrong way, it...
Allright! So someone put the spring in reversed before me. The book says you need an arbor press to get it back together?
I'm guessing I can force the snap ring in place by compressing the clutch. But that seems wrong?

Thats exactly what it looks like. And all frictions are 0.06". Its so close! I can se half of the snap ring groove but can not get thw ring to...
Haha thats geat, writing down things on your own hand always works. Any tips are welcome as i have never done this before. Mutch appreciated! Will...
Thats what i removed, but can not get the new ones to fit. I end up with a steel at the top. When i put one more friction in and the the shaft i...
Do you have a link to charlies? When i google it I get a lot of different hits. Tried the thinner friction plates in the front clutch today but i...
I'ts not close at all. One more friction plate seats above the hub. Whats my bobber? :)
Could be i switched them then! The friction plates i removed from the forward drum missed one cog and so did the new thick ones. But on the other...
Hi! I'm in the middle of rebuilding my small case cruise o matic and i have encountered a problem when installing the new clutch plates in the...
