el_freddo Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Hmmm… think I’m looking at EJ cases too much these days, I don’t remember the top of the bell housing being so rounded. And those dowel hole up top - never seen that before, maybe a series 1 thing, I haven’t played with those gearboxes before. Cool audio clip. Could be many things - crown wheel touching the low range selector ring if they did a diff ratio swap (in which case, have a look at the pinion shaft for a weld mark); reverse gear partially engaged enough to click/grind like that - or a partially engaged drive gear for that matter too. So many possibilities of what it could be. Either way, don’t just drop that box in (as established)! Looking forward to autopsy pics Cheers Bennie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuspiciousPizza Posted 16 hours ago Author Share Posted 16 hours ago I have a 3 day weekend coming up so I'll be taking the time to begin trying to take it apart then. I found a section 1-3 FSM for cheap on eBay so I don't have to wait around to get my other one back. I tried taking the T-case cover plate off last night to see if there was anything obvious. The RTV is gonna be a headache, it seriously doesn't wanna budge. Glued, screwed, and tattooed down. My idea for dealing with the RTV was getting it hot with a torch and gently using a razor blade to cut into the softened sealant. I do worry about residue from burning. I'm just going to have to be very thorough with cleaning the internals. I'll be recording as much of the disassembly as I can/remember to. I'll be posting links to the videos when pertinent. I'm kind of glad I got a "broken" box, now I can practice servicing one without the stress of potentially damaging a good transmission. There'll be more to come :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czny Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Here's some reading for you before you dive in to that "spare". https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/121582-transmission-reseal-new-bearing-with-pics/ https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/95638-411-awd-dual-range-in-legacy/page/2/ https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/100318-ej-dr-tranny-s-from-nz-ive-read-many-recent-threads-want-newest-info/ Can't recall which long gone member had a complete tear down description, but I think el freddo might know. Gloyale did some, el freddo did some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
