I guess I really need to sit down with my Bentley and educate myself on Trannies. They are my weak spot as far as working on the innards... I suppose minute changes in dimensions of the new bearing vs. old one could translate into bigger changes elsewhere. Of course actually pulling one of these trannies apart would really help me too. I wonder if I could make the expensive case simulating fixture with an old case and a Hammer? Maybe I best stay out of the Trannie!

And this has to be done as it would be in actual use. There are some expensive fixturing, that simulates the case but gives access to the fork adjustments, and gives you the ability to turn the trans by hand while doing this. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) '05 KIA Sorento SUV russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
