AWeb80 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 I forgot to take more pics....but these are waht I took. This is looking from the drivers side looking down the cavity, the piece that goes behind the motor along the subframe, where all the clutchpacks, apply bands, and hard parts are stacked. The jagged piece at the bottom is the parking pawl. 4th gear clutches and hub install New Chain and my dirty shoes Chain hidden by plate. The valve body is sandwiched between the chain cover plate and on top of it is the pump housing. The jagged piece on bottom left is the gear selector. It moves a valve in the valve body which directs the fluid to who knows where..... I understand how the hard parts move and work now, but the fluid and electrical stuff i'm still about.... Quote
Night Fury Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 That tiny piece of metal holds a car in place in park... Crazy Thanks for the pics... very interesting Quote
AWeb80 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Posted May 23, 2009 the bottom of that part, is where the diff would be....aka, the passenger side. The clutchpacks for the gears are stacked, 1st at the bottom to 4th at the top....if that makes sense. Quote
Robby1870 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 I would go read your other thread, but I'm lazy....did you do the 3.73 FDR swap with this or is it just a full rebuild? Quote
AWeb80 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Posted May 23, 2009 just a full rebuild. I wanted to keep my stock FDR, it gets 30 mpg, i'm not going for quickness w/a stock 3100. I'll do motor work if I want taht Quote
Night Fury Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 How much $$$ have you spent on just the rebuild? What all did you have to replace? Quote
Robby1870 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 on the trans alone....~$500 That's not bad. If you had paid someone to do it it would have been $1500+, although you would have had your car back a lot quicker. However, the knowledge gained from doing this yourself is totally worth it. Quote
carkhz316 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 What methods did you use to clean everything? And, did you use any specialized tools similar to the "L" trannys? Like any different clutch compressors and whatnot? Quote
AWeb80 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Posted May 23, 2009 no special tools....just crafty hands...and ingenuity. used a few snap ring pliers....that's about it. Quote
Brian P Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 looks good mang, any pics of the internals before you installed the 4th gear hub? Quote
