I was starting a big cleanup of the many photos scattered around my computer and found this...

 

Now, when the next person strips a gearbox or does a clutch, please take lots of photos (on a real camera, not a blasted useless phone!!) and put up some "How-to" topics... How-to replace the input shaft bearing, How-to change a clutch, How-to replace synchros...

 

If we build up a library of these it will stop a lot of new guys having to ask the whole deal every time. After a few years we should be better than Toyotas workshop manuals!

 

This is Taz's 0.1% !! :yes:

 

Sorry man- I did laugh when I saw it.

Pic of the T50 I rebuilt.

Ah Trev, did you take enough pictures for a writeup to show anyone how to do it??

That is fantastic Bruce- just what we need here for K50s.

 

They won't last forever and the wreckers will run out of them soon.

haha I actually logged on today just for the purpose of correcting myself about those bearings.

 

It's been a few years since I re-built that gearbox and couldn't quite remember what the problem was. Anyway I checked the layshaft last night I remembered they DO have some needle bearings races in each end of the layshaft. The problem I couldn't remember was that they have a pretty poor bearing design, and its the actual bearing which eats into the shaft it runs on. I'll try and find the shaft I had to get pressed out to show you just how much they bugger the shaft.
