101, Final Drive Gears on their way
Posted by amljbs, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
First of all let me start out by saying Bob Kise is awesome. Easy as hell to order the parts from him and he shipped them same day. Anyways I ordered the gears and 4 Quarts of the Mopar tranny fluid. I need to buy gasket maker. Every one who has done this I know there is a complete walk through which I have but any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I cant wait to actually gain some descent pickup :D .


By the way ( for those wondering ) the whole thing from Bob shipped to Florida is $136 which isnt bad at all.

If you have access to air tools definetly use them, getting the bolts off the stock gears is a PITA, I had to remove my whole front bumper just to get enough leverage to break the bolt/locktite loose

and you need 200ft-lbs or torque on that big sucker.

And make sure you have a big bucket to catch the tranny fluid. It will basically just be pouring out the whole time your working on it.

and loosen each bolt first before removing each one, the pressure from the one gear makes it much easier to hold the other in place.

Good luck, its fun to learn to drive it after, I felt a completely different feeling to the way it shifted,etc..

To get that pan off, get a peice of wood an stick it through the tear shaped thing in the front bumper (take that plug out)Then all you have to do is tap the end of the peice of wood on that caseing it'll come off in about 3 min. DON'T TAKE THE BUMPER OFF.

I do have air tools so that wont be a problem. So your saying basically put the wood through the false brake scoop and tap the side of the pan with it to pry it off. Anything else I should watchout for or be aware of? Also did you guys just use the gasket maker they listed in the walkthrough or is there something better? I just want to be completely prepared for this so I can basically go out there and have it done quick. One last thing the steering wheel puller, any particular one you guys used or will any one work. Thanks in advance guys.
