What a mess with the OD. With a similar problem a couple of years ago, any ideas on what or why it is happening.

Friday 22nd July 2011
Still having internet connection problems so posting this from my son's house. Probably another couple of days before the problem is fixed. Dropped into the workshop to "give poor dog a bone" and to catch up with what's been happening. Wade wasn't in much the last couple of days although he did receive a couple of new Twelve coils, courtesy of Barry Smith, to try out in Big Red. Wade had also examined Noel's trans for the source of the oil leaks there and thinks they are emanating from the seals surrounding the ends of the selector shafts in the trans top. As an aid to this and for reference purposes he took the shaft and seals out of the spare trans top he has. The seals on that top disintegrated when removed because they had petrified with age. And this morning he'd sourced new neoprene seals from ABC bearings which will be able replacements. Wade tells me that PeterL will be in on Monday and he should have all the parts required for the R6 rebuild. Also received an email from Noel, which says in part ".....saw the post of the planetary gears, oh what a mess!! Cannot understand how the whole thing got welded together, would it mean that something was overtightened causing excess friction?.......Anyway, hopefully the parts from PeterL will be usable....." Noel went on to also say"......spoke with David The Flackmaster this morning. He has the bonnet piece for Harvey. I told him to send it to me....." Quote: HH56 wrote:What a mess with the OD. With a similar problem a couple of years ago, any ideas on what or why it is happening. Seems there is consensus that what we have here is a mess! It's not known what caused the problem but any thoughts, ideas, comments or insights are most welcome. The package from The Flackmaster should also contain some bits for Wade and myself so will bring comfort to a number of Packard owners.

Don't believe I ever heard you mention when it happens and am sure Wade has considered it, but the article on reverse gear lock up and damage on the R9 keeps coming to mind. Granted Noel has an R6 & the electrical side is somewhat different between the two in using a clutch instead of a governor to determine engagement speed. In other aspects mechanically and the way motion is transmitted, I believe they are similar. Just wondering if perhaps in going along the gist of the article, something like the clutch not dropping out in this case is keeping that OD energized mechanically the way mentioned and the same damage is occurring.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/SC/SC-VOL21NO15.pdf

Besides that, over the weekend I was "stricken" with Bells Palsy. Just what I didn't need! Was ugly enough beforehand without this compounding the situation! Not life threatening, just an inconvenience and with time will clear, and won't interfere with Packard enjoyment activities!

Mal, if the mountain won't come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain. You could pull the Crypton diagnostic centre on its own wheels through the Drive-In next to the internet connection...
Get well soon!

Hope you are on mend soon! A gentleman at work was inflicted with BP last year and shows no sign of it today.

Get well soon Mal. If others previously thought you looked like you had been beaten with the 'ugly stick', they might well now say that you fell out of the 'ugly tree'... and hit every branch on the way down!
Not that I would ever say such a thing about such an estemed gentleman, but others might Seriously though, I hope you are feeling better in record time and with some luck I will be able to drop in and see you at Wades Workshop next week.

G'day Mat et al, Welcome to the Bells palsy club, I had Chicken pox encephalitis in 1986 and the RH side of my face sags regularly. Some say that it gives me a very 19 Forties patina. Good luck with getting the smile back. I never did but you may be luckier. WRT Noels R6, The R6 is a very rudimentary box, without a Governor and the fact that the solenoid would have automatically disengaged due to spring pressure would have rendered the box ok to start off. This may not have occurred of course but Noel would have noticed a oproblem in reversing prior to driving off as normal on his journey. I would surmise that oil starvation was the root cause of the failure as the planetary gears are steel to steel with no bushes or bearings. I recommend and do so myself check that the two gearbox levels in an R6 are OK before I travel interstate more than 500 km. R6 boxes are good to instal as they do not require electrics to work but they are fragile in some areas. best regards Peter Toet
