1991 Firebird 700R4 Tailshaft Bushing and Seal Replacement (Ep.3)

Рет қаралды 990,990

5 жыл бұрын

The transmission had been leaving little puddles beneath the car, so we decided to set it up on jackstands and take a look at the issue. In this episode we will remove the transmission tailshaft and replace the driveshaft bushing and seal to keep the transmission fluid where it is supposed to be. We also replace the transmission mount and work on an exhaust hanger. Exciting! But, not everything is fun and games in transmission land!

Tried to get this video published on Friday but didn't quite make it. Have had a cold all week and couldn't record voiceover until Thursday, so it was a dash to get this edited and uploaded in time for the weekend. Some ups and downs in this video, but at least we are starting to dig into the car! P.S.: Any errors and/or bad jokes I blame on the fever.

could a long bolt without threads and a nut on the other end of the t-case help relieve the spreading force that torqued bolt will give to the cracked area?

@FuzzyDiceProjects 5 жыл бұрын

I mentioned that idea very briefly, and since I had to think about it a lot when editing this video I think I will end up doing that. Then at least it's not trying to spread out, and I can use a lock nut and a little less torque to further reduce the forces on that area.

Sweeping it under the rug was quite amusing if I say so myself haha. I’ve done that multiple times with my transmission. I’m not sure of the official names of the parts since it has a torque tube on the driveshaft since 1949, but the rear seal is leaking between the transmission and the torque tube. So is the main seal between the engine and the transmission... and the differential... pretty much everything important is leaking except the brakes haha. Good video

This is the finer point of old pontiacs and why they live forever, the fluids leaking is a metered self undercoat and chassis lubrication. Also forces the owner to renew the fluids often, keeping the car on the road for thousands of smiles more.

This is the reality of working on older cars. I just got a 98 Expedition and started the "discovery" process. Take one thing out, find two more behind it. It is just the way it goes. But is like with rust, you keep digging until you find good metal and then start building it out. At some point (you might have, but I didn't check) it would be cool to see your list of "can't do without" tools, thread-lock seems to be one of them. :-) Due to a recent move I had to get rid of all my tools so starting from scratch. On this Expy just realized I need a lot of Torx (screwdriver/sockets) to survive.. :-) Keep up the good work and go light on that blue stuff. :-)

@FuzzyDiceProjects 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the suggestion! I have thought about doing a "most used" tools video and might well make one somewhere down the line. Part of the reason I haven't made one yet is I keep discovering more tools and changing what I am using!

My 89 Firebird Formula 350 was an Atlanta car so it was in perfect condition when I bought it in 2008, every time I took something off, I completely restored it including paint and clear coat (spray can) on the parts I removed! Quit trying to fix that exhaust, slap some Hooker shorty headers on it and a true dual exhaust 2.5” with a crossover and remove the converter slap on a couple series 50 mufflers and it’ll sound awesome!

I searched for "how to" videos and i found this series. I have a sentimental attachment to the firebird im getting from my sister. My mother saved it from the crusher and i fell in love with it since i first saw it when i was 9. I'm 31 now and waiting ~ 20 years, I'm ok with the wait. I'll probably reference these videos in my rebuild.

I love the narrative and the humor. I also like the attitude of realism about fixing vs. not fixing things. Too often people criticize because it's not perfect, but to shoot for perfection on this type of car isn't practical or a good financial idea.

Total garage queen, never gets driven. I hope to one day inherit the car and "bring it back to life" with some performance upgrades and TLC...even though its been garaged all its life, it needs some love.
