This is a compilation of several months and my 356 transmission rebuild videos. My journey of learning and building is not meant to be a how to tutorial, but I hope you find something interesting in my process. All the tools were build by myself in either in my small two car garage or a local makerspace. I learned a lot, but most importantly I'm very pleased with the way the car drives.
If you want more detail there is plenty more video below: Some of the pinion depth information was confusing so I thought this summary video would be more consise and useful. For the record the nominal pinion depth is 59.22mm which is hard to find in any of the Porsche manuals.

Awesome summery. Great that you have access to larger presses and other machine tools. Side note, painting my Jag tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Tip: scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner. Holy cow. I couldn’t believe it but it breaks down grease better than engine degreaser.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 11 ай бұрын

Thanks. I haven't tried this yet! Does it attack aluminum?

@alejonin 11 ай бұрын

@@GarageTimeAutoResto I looked and looked for a way to clean aluminum. I’ve never left it for long because I’m afraid of it tarnishing. So far it’s been good to clean my miata heads. For tough grease you can use oven cleaner but that will deifnately tarnish aluminum. It won’t eat up the aluminum tho.

Brilliant! I appreciate your creativity on making the homemade tools. What is your plan for addressing 4th gear whine?

@GarageTimeAutoResto 11 ай бұрын

Thank you. My plan is to put the interior and sound deadening in it and re-evaluate. The whine is only at 45-50 mph in 4th, but If I drive faster it goes away. Will see? I'm not opposed to taking it apart again and replacing fourth gear. My fourth did look dark and the teeth showed more wear than the others. This car was in Europe for at least ten years when new, so maybe it ran flat out on the autobahn for long periods? Who knows?

Going back with the same gearing or close ratio gears, maybe a hillclimb R&P? Thanks for the exterior cleaning tip. Need to do this on my 914’s tranny.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 11 ай бұрын

Stock gearing for me. Dry ice blast if you want it done fast!

I'm trying to replace the shift rod seal in the transmission, seems simple right, I watched the video from Heidi and Franny, bought the tool she used, and here I am having spent hours under the car no luck getting it out, and I may have managed to perhaps ruin the end of the housing or the shaft. Weird, but there is a metal washer, covering the green seal, I butchered it up but it's not coming out, and the seal is recessed inside the housing. I have pix but not sure how to post it here. Kinda desperate at this point, hope you see this and comment. Thank you.

I've removed this seal when the nose cone was off. I think that might be your best bet. Remove the nuts that attach the nose cone and remove the shift rod and nose together. I'm not sure what the tool you have looks like but you might try some long sheet metal screws threaded into the seal and then a slide hammer to remove the seal.

@victorspadoni744 11 ай бұрын

Can the nose cone be removed with the transmission still on the car?

@GarageTimeAutoResto 11 ай бұрын

No, I don't think so.

@victorspadoni744 11 ай бұрын

I didn't so either, but was hoping. Thank you, your videos are wonderful.@@GarageTimeAutoResto

@victorspadoni744 10 ай бұрын

I dropped the engine 2 days ago, tranny cradle bolts easy to remove, front mounts not so easy, got the outside nuts off but still unable to remove the inside nuts, not much space in there to get to the nut and one is just spinning, and can't find a way to place another wrench on the opposite side to hold it.@@GarageTimeAutoResto

You... need a steam cleaner. Yes, there are cheap "hacks" but a steam cleaner works on everything and kills grease. Or you could have it dry ice cleaned but that's 💰$$ expensive. Can't wait till those are consumer level machines.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 11 ай бұрын

Yes, I do. Is there a model you recommend?
