Subject: #$&^*!@ Trans by Matatk on 2009/4/19 1:42:21 Well, if you've been paying attention to daily chat I started my rear end/u-joint/wheel bearing/tear every damn thing apart project today. Got some solid work done. Rear is out, everything pretty much disassembled. It was a b#$@ to get all those little u joint strap bolts out and the c-beam bolts were even worse. Corrosion over 20 years has taken its toll. So....Two questions: 1) While attempting to change the driven gear, this damn sensor piece broke. It is called, according to FSM, "fitting assembly, speedo driven gear". I found the part # for my car is 25007224 for stock, but gmpartsdirect has it listed for like 92.00. Ugh. I found a whole set at bowtie transmissions for $70, but it's not exactly the same. I'd like to just get a stock replacement. Any ideas? 2) I have the green gear to replace the one I have to go from the 2.59s to the 3.07s. I am supposed to flip some other gear 180* or something. I don't understand exactly which one or how I'm supposed to do it. Can someone explain? I've got some pics below. Thanks, Matthew What it looked like before I started:  Broken MFer!  What is should sorta look like:  What the trans looks like w/o tailshaft housing (you can see the other gears)  PS - what's the white stuff? It was kinda blotchy and when I rubbed it with my finger it smeared?!?  |
