Just finished another A Type Overdrive rebuild this afternoon. Next one I
do I'm going to insist that the owner bring a spare 4 speed for parts or
maybe 2.
I very rarely find an overdrive transmission that the layshaft bearing next
to 1st that hasn't walked and tried to escape the case through the thrust
bearing. I have tried in vane to remove the laygear with one that ground
its way into the thrust bearing and sometimes the case. I sometimes get the
laygear out but in most cases the trans case with the laygear is sent to
scrap.
Does anyone have a solution, trick, special tool, to ease the laygear out.
The normal way is to remove the small thust bearing with a magnet so you
can tilt the laygear enough to get it out. I have even once resorted to a "
Slugger Slide Hammer" and chain wrapped around the laygear to get it out.
Didn't end well however.
I did read somewhere that someone is using a tapered roller bearing on that
end which would make more sense than the original design.
Please advise
Thanks in advance
Glenn
