Slawnski Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Pulled the engine from the 27 today- that was fun! Glad I descided to pull it- easier to clean inspect and reseal now. My question here is regarding the transmission. I’ll be removing that as well to clean, reseal ect. I’m not very familiar with prewar vehicles- my apologies. Where is the best joint to unbolt to remove the transmission from the rest of the drivetrain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidden_hunter Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 are you removing the rear diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtech Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Just remove the 4 rearmost bolts. The driveshaft in splined in the universal. It will just slide out. The universal is in the bell part. You will have that off before you are done too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogging stuff around in the next couple days to part the body from the frame and move the frame to a spot it can be pulled apart cleaned and painted. The transmission and engine are pretty grimey - wouldn’t hurt to remove, clean, seal and paint while I wait for engine bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodge28 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Pre War you say ? If the rear has leaf springs remove the U bolts . dis connect the brake lines , open the ball behind the tranny and pull the diff assembly back . While you are at it check, resurface the flywheel, replace pilot bushing and release bearings. Oil seals are usually made of wine cork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear axle can stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
