J type overdrive mainshaft bush

[uksnatcher]

Finally got the gearbox out for a recon box fittment....! Me and Ste blood on the job and freezing...(nerd) (nerd)

Removed the O/D from the gearbox , noticed the mainshaft end bush (fits on end of output shaft on box, sits in o/d annulus, spiggot bush if you like) is worn a bit could do with renewing while its out .
Making a list of parts to buy IE clutch, gaskets, pivots etc i cannot find this bush listed at any of the usual places IE rimmers, moss, canleys.

I located the part via Haynes manual, Number 26.

Havnt had time for a ring round and Sunday everywere closed.
Anybody help....i dont really fancy putting the old one back. :D
Ohh, its a 1500 spitfire, single rail box, j type o/d if that helps.

Hey Marcus

What about copper washers on all the bolts :-/

[GT6 M]

Steeve, yes  you can put them on, but its only the top two, that hold the back part on, that are poen to the inside,
if the alloy has got damaged then they may no seal, thats why i said seal up,

I found out the hard way,!! lost all me oil,even though they had new copper washers on.
but that was when I was just starting off,!!

washers and sealant to be sure.

Thanks Marcus, will give them a call on Monday.

I fully intend doing the 'Roy-voy'.... waiting to get clearance to take off is the problem.....ex - woman involved.... (think)

Sorry mate, bit unclear, I assume you mean the top studs between the o/d and the adapter plate are the ones that leak?

Spoke to Dave at O/D SPARES....... sorted..... :)

Great service and advise, highly recommended....cheers Marcus

Gaz, when you have got the box back together, try and get a BIGGGG power full drill, and turn the od /gear box
using the drill on the input shaft,   It will take a bit o time to get the oil thru,

put a feed onto the od solonoid,and an erth, frae a battery, to get the od to come in.
but dooing it this way,  at least you no its working before you put it all back together.

just make sure you got the box going the right way,!!!
