Re: Resurrecting a 1951 Henney-Packard Parts Car

I’m back home now as of a little after midnight this morning but here’s a recap. The goal was to get the transmission assembled and installed but the incorrect rear seal slowed it down to just getting it assembled. Reading back a ways in this blog, you can see all the difficulties I had in getting the overdrive unit apart but putting it back together was quite easy and took only a few minutes.
For the individual rollers shown here, I used a wide rubber band to hold them in place for assembly and it worked well for that but it not only wasn’t tight enough to hold them in against their springs but also was too much rubber to leave in there to dissolve (as the manual says) so when actually assembling, I used a thin rubber band looped twice around it which did the job.
Then I placed the output shaft assembly over it, used some general purpose grease to hold the gasket in place against the adapter plate, then placed the housing over it all and loosely bolted it in place to be sure that the gasket was aligned properly before snugging it down and adding the output flange.
So again, should there be a seal/gasket under the governor and are the shift arms and top cover supposed to be painted?
