I’m ready to mate the rear of the transmission to the front. Have needle bearings and alittle washer that I am not sure about. Any tips will be appreciated
Do you mean the input shaft ? if so the best thing is to take some assembly goo, grease, or Valseline to hold the needle bearing into the output shaft when installing the input shaft into it.
More precisely the 2 washers that seperate the 2 needle bearings. Does the little and big washer go side by side or is it inner bearings then small washer then outer needle bearings then big washer. This is my first restore and trying to keep it all original
Love your video explaining how the clutch works. But I do have this question I own a 51 Pontiac chieftain do they have the same type of clutch like Chevrolet?,when I go to my 3rd gear it just sounds bad first and second are fine.
If its only 3rd gear- the problem is in the transmission- Third is actually "direct" on a three speed manual, the input shaft is locked to the output shaft. Your counter shaft or syncro could be chewed up- need to tear it down.
I was hoping you would demonstrate how to put those damn needle bearings back in without them falling all over the place during reassembly I'm assuming you use grease I wish you touched that subject but you totally missed what I needed to know
The old days of "unit repair " Nice work. I want to take it for a test drive!
WOW!!! very helpful, thank you!!!
Grind 'em until you find 'em.
I have a 63 impala 3 speed tranny in the car. If I remove the inspection cover, is it normal for none of the gears in the tranny to move?

Where does the bearings go. I had a the bearings fall out and I can’t figure out where they go. (1969 C20 3 speed 350 transmission)

Hi, do you know if it takes single needle bearing rollers in the L-6 clutch gear or does it take 2 different size needle bearings?
Great explanation. What lube do you recommend for these transmissions.. thanks for sharing ,really enjoyed it.
I use 90W with a GL5 Rating. Does not have to be synthetic

Coat them with grease or blue transmission goo and they wont fall out when you put the countershaft in-
