Wonderful video. I would like to add that when using Teflon tape on a right had thread wrap it clockwise. Other wise it has a tendency to want to pull it off rather than draw it in. It's also a good idea to use some kind of sealer on all those bolt threads that go into the case if you want even more insurance against future leaks. Blue Locktite or silicone gasket sealers work great. Be sure and use some brake clean or oil free spray solvent to clean the threads first. I don't mean to be criticize Mr. Bell.

I like your spring compression tool for the tower. Nice to see safety wire done right. If you're real good , you can do all four bolts with one piece! LOL! I was a USAF mechanic so I'm a bug on wire. When you pull the tranny or put it in, take that 3/4 pipe and put a piece about 3 inches long into the drain plug hole. Take the plate off your floor jack and put the pipe through the hole in the jack that holds the plate. Put the tranny on the jack and role it under the car. Jack the tranny up into position. That way you don' t have to mess with those 2x4's. The wheels on the jack can help you wiggle it in. Thanks for a nice video and like your car.

Your second gear is likely pitted. Watch the video in this series on “Parts Inspection”. Pitted gears cause lots of noise. It is a common problem in Model A transmissions. You can remove the tower of the transmission, clean off the oil a bit and take a close look at the face and flank of the second gear teeth.

Dear Mr. Bell, my friend was given a Model A Ford Roadster by her father, who is 90 years old and suffering early dementia and cannot aid in the maintenance of the car. I have done some repairs (changed water pump, lubed chassis, new battery, etc.) but the car will not engage in reverse gear. everything else works great. Any ideas on the issue/problem would be greatly appreciated? No grinding or noticeable sounds when trying to engage reverse, just won't reverse?

If you have seen all the videos in this series, you know about as much as I do on this topic.... I suggest you remove the transmission tower, inspect the gears, See if three is a reverse idler gear. Take a close look at the forks and tower parts. The symptoms described in your comment lead me to suspect something messed up in the tower. Good luck.

Does this type of transmission take a heavy gear oil?
@georgebell71032 жыл бұрын
Yes the oil for this transmission is quite a bit thicker than modern transmission fluid. Thanks for your comment

I don't see the final video showing you putting the transmission back in the car. Did you finish that one?
@georgebell71034 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the. Comment. I have already put 2,500 miles on the rebuilt transmission. All worked very well. The video clips are patiently waiting for my editing and posting to you tube as the final video in the series... I need to get that done.

Did you use a modern synthetic gear lube to prevent future wear?
@georgebell71034 жыл бұрын
I did not, I used the old school heavy oil recommended for the Model A. I will look into a replacement modern synthetic.

Should the collor and the spacer on the main shafts be replaced or can your old ones be reused? How did you peen the rivets inside the shift tower?
@georgebell71034 жыл бұрын
If the collar is in good condition it can be reused. The rivets are made from aluminum and are easy to peen.

@@georgebell7103 is it OK to reuse the spacer? The rivets inside of mine are steel and I have a hard time peening because the heads are on the inside nothing to peen against, I wedged a wrench inside and it worked sum what. Thanks for getting back to me. Great videos.
