Replace Clutch

Posted by Jim Kavanagh On 2023/8/8 13:11:56

I am replacing the clutch and PP in my 41. My trans has OD. It looks like the best way to remove this is to unbolt the frame brace that runs under the body of the trans from the frame and remove the trans and the brace as a unit. It looks like it will be easier to also remove the brace at the tail (OD section) of the trans. Maybe the other option is to undo the trans from the center brace, leaving it attached to the frame, but I am not sure I would get enough clearance to tilt the trans out. I do have a trans jack, so that will help, and I have the engine blocked up. This is a fairly heavy piece of equipment and I am not as young, or strong as I used to be. Is this the best way to go about this?

Also, in putting it all back together, do I need to put spacers in the pressure plate to allow room to install the throughout bearing as I reassemble this?

If there is a thread on this somewhere here in the forum, if you can point me to it, I would very much appreciate it.
