i need to remove the speedometer gear and inspect the gear and count teeth so i can order a replacement. I can take out the tension ring but is there a tool or method for coaxing the retainer out?

no the door is about 1/4 inch from bumpers touching at rear of door i will take it apart and look for bends

yes i changed the spring and it made no difference. both of my clippers have the same condition

does anyone have a trick for adjusting the fuel filler door.I see a lot of them which appear to be sprung and have one that is not fully closing. thank you

i used American brake systems unit is made to support the packard straight pedal and and 1 to 1 throw ratio because it is an electricly operated pump with a reservoir on the firewall and the electric pump mounted on the frame. they also have disk brake conversion kits ( they sent me senior disks and i had to return them for the slightly smaller junior set . also i had so modification to the shift rod to go around the master cylinder i also usde a power brake pedal because it just fit better than the manual setup.

with the 700 r 4 in the packard how did you get the speedo accurate and did you find a suitable prndl for it also did you have to modify the drive shaft? thank you

thank you this is exactly what i needed

On a 56 clipper I have a horn that blows when the wheel is turned to the 3 oclock and 9 oclock positions ,i have disconected the horn relay but would like to permanently fix the problem .Is there a place to pry the horn off to limit damage and is there a known fix other than to hunt and peck at the contacts untill i figure it out ? thank you for your help i see no notes in the forum or in the manual

ive been thinking about this and the converter is also the one from the other trans. I think i need to go back to the other trans and converter and try to replace the oil seal once again I am not sure if it was seated all the way in the groove I was loooking at it and the first trans is definitly better condition and I will not save this fluid because I dont want to put this fluid in the other trans this one had som metal bits and gunk in the pan it does still work but I am not confident in it long term if it does not hold fluid this time I may need a professonal rebuild or at least reseal job

ok I replaced the front seal and the leak is the same as it was , i then replaced the whole trans with one from my parts car and have the same problem , could the shaft be bent causing a run out issue.
and is there a check for it, i am getting good at changing the trans.
it is painfull to spill 50 dollars worth of f type fluid each time i try this. thank you all for the expert advice I know I will recive
also there is no noticable vibration it is on jack stands and the only problem is the pool of trans fluid under the car dropping from the inspection plate.
