Re: Original 3 speed disassembly

Ugh. Looks like nobody around here has any experience tearing these old 3 speeds down and trying to get them back together again. Might have to forge ahead on my own. Inside of the original '60 trans is kinda rough, got some gears with chipped edges and the main gear for some reason will not side on the "clutch" as they call it in the books. By the time I did finally get it apart (the tail and main shaft does not simply just slide out as everybody shows at least not for me) one of the tiny roller needles had ran off. Dug a 55-57 Chev passenger 3 speed out of my stash and going to see if I can make one out of two. The 55-57 3 speed does not have the threaded bottom two mounting holes and it appears the shifter forks are different and point the wrong way. I'm probably the only one on here to ever mess with an original 3 speed...
