John-boy, do you actually read the posts before you reply or do you just have a hard time with the english language ?!?!?

you can't get the cluster pin out the front even after you pull the key off the back as you are suggesting.

---

I never suggested that at all

First off you are correct

---

Thank you John-boy ... this is one of the most intelligent statements you've made.

and one would definitely not do it with the trans bolted to the bellhousing engine as you are suggesting the OP do because there is no way to push the cluster pin to the rear.

---

Never suggested that. In fact I actually stated why it couldn't be done but of course you didn't read that post!!

But as far as dropping the cluster gear on an OD the manual tells you how to do it ... Unbolt the tailhousing , rotate it till you have clear access to the rear of the cluster pin , pull the soft plug from the front of the trans and push the pin out the back , the cluster gear drops down and the mainshaft is now easily able to be removed , repeat in reverse to assemble.

This would be logical to me, I wouldn't need a manual for this.

And since its just eating away at you, I called you a smarta$$ and that's all they editted out.

---

Stanton-girl nothing is eating away at me , I don't have a clue what your problem is ... well I have an idea but this is not the forum to hash that out in ... but you need to go back and reread what you said before you go accusing me of not being able to read or UNDERSTAND the English language ...


First you suggested this in your FIRST reply in this thread ...

Pull the side cover, drop the driveshaft, yank the tailstock and replace all the brass rings, reassemble and drive it for years.

---

Sure sounds like you SUGGESTED to take the tailhousing and maingear assembly out with the trans still bolted to the bellhousing and installed in the car ...


Then you asked this when going after another member in the post the mod edited , did the mod also edit the question you posed? ...

tell me how you'd get the shaft out from the front - particularly since there's a key in the back !!!

---

Once again , sounds like you asked how to get the cluster pin out of the front of the transmission after pulling the key off it?

As an aside since the OD cluster pin is a slip fit into the front of the case I think one could push the pin out the front after getting the key off ???

If the only logical thing I said was that you were correct, don't worry, that won't happen again.
