Fifth gear finally pounded it's way off on the old Dodge. Does anyone have the tool for tightening the lock nut/holding the shaft?

 

I made one from a wheel nut socket you can borrow if you want. where you at?

 

I'm up in the Innisfail/Olds area. PM a number.

thanks

 

PM'd.......

 

heres an eyeball of what we made for my nut repair last year.

 

Very good idea Luke....

 

It was a hub socket to begin with cut the body out of it. notch the top weld to side. custom clearance the drive tangs.

 

Sooner or later,I'm going to have rebuild my trans...Drive train is starting to get sloppy..Luke...That device is to fix the nut from falling off??You may have to patient it...

 

not to keep it from falling off, just a socket to reinstall 5th gear nut.

 

heck i used a pipe wrench a big one

 

Thanks Luke...May have to rent it out one of days...I talked to Tate a while back where we were going to do a 5-speed rebuild project on all three trucks..

 

Would you get better pricing on bulk parts? A refresh on mine sure would be nice.. Its starting to shift like Tates 24V with a constant grind into 3rd.

 

I have a company in BC that supplied parts for my super T-10...I got prices but that was a while back...Also Tate got some prices also.I have to talk to Tate...We had one clutch swap day.And the next will be a trans overhaul.If we could rebuild the first one the next 4 should be ok....

 

FWIW, that tranny is sitting in the garage, after I dropped 5th. And it ground into every gear by then. The current one is out of a 94, and it shifts much better.

I'm still interested in rebuilding it, but have numerous things on numerous plates coming up, so I'll have to hang off for the next while.
