That tub is so solid. And the rack and pinion mount crossmember just makes it even stiffer. I like the way you can swap out the bars easily to tune in the car.

The primer turned out great. I hope it will stick. The cage work done by the fab shop turned out awesome also. And the electric power steering is really trick and should work well.

I have a buddy that works at Lemoore Naval air station. He is the head painter for the Fa18s on the base. He told me to send the whole chassis down with 500 grit then wash it down with iC 33 And wash that off with water. Then I brushed on this CR 1201 prep solution And washed that off with water...

I’m still waiting on one of those expensive lock nuts from Germany so that I can finish putting the transmission back together In the meantime I took all the suspension components off and ordered up all these cool exhaust bit so that once I have her back together my fab shop but he’s can put...

If you don’t want to do it like I showed you can follow the manual and suck the bearings on to their respective shafts by tightening up the Nuts on the end of the shaft as shown in the manual.

I just came in from installing the gears and Hannah has designed this penguin hat device to hold ice against her now de-wisdomed lower mandible. Brilliant

Remember none of these Recent steps are necessary if all you’re doing is swapping out the drop gears. In this picture above the new overdrive gears are installed

Looks like that when you’re done

OK I took a little time tonight to mount the input and output gear stacks back into the bearing plate. Note that these two stacks of gears must be pressed into the bearing plate once the new overdrive gears are installed. Remember that the Gear stacks had to be pressed out of the bearings plate...

Stephan your work is exceptional.

Pile the rest of your bits on top and you’re done. The stack is very easy to swap out On the input side. Much easier than the output side. While I was at it I cleaned up the splines on One of the chefs with a cheap harbor freight spline clean up die. Note that this is the day I made just to...

Once you pull off that gear you have two more years to go. The next gear in line slides right off and the gear below it is the one that you swap out with the new overdrive gear. Once you swap out the overdrive gear and put back the one that was on top of it It is time to press on the one gear...

After taking off a couple years you’ll come to the snap ring that you see in the picture. That snack bring easily comes off. The gear just below that snap bring is the gear that you need to remove with a 3 jaw puller. It’s not on very tight at all. It comes off really easy.

Just start lifting stuff off. Gears just slide off on the input shaft. There are a few pieces like this in the picture that you carefully remove and keep track of where they came from. The bearings are in a split plastic case and they easily come off. Cake

OK. Finished swapping out the 6th gear overdrive on the input shaft. My finger is pointing at the one year that you will be changing. Everything on top of this Gear must be removed from the stack and everything below it does not get touched.

For New Year’s me and my daughter took the unimog On a snow run in the Sequoia national Forest with the valley crawlers club. Our crew busted through miles of amazing trails That travel deep into massive forests that very few people will ever see.Took most of the day. If any of you guys from...

This last part is important. You can’t press the whole stack together tight. There has to be a little bit of axial play. The manual specs between .1 and .5 mm of axial play. That’s quite a bit of leeway so I split the middle. At about .3 mm. You can honestly eyeball that much runout if you don’t...

Here is a socket on top of the LS alignment tool.

That colar must be pressed on. It’s the piece on the shaft a couple inches straight out from my thumb. That colar holds the whole stacked together. I pressed it on with a water pump seal alignment tool for an LS motor. I put a socket on top of that to finish the job. It presses on easily.

You might be tempted to play with the stack of magic right here. Don’t do that. Take this entire pile off as one piece and put it back on the new shaft after the new gear is pressed on. Don’t take it apart. Trust me. Luckily I took lots of pictures otherwise I wouldn’t of gotten it right. I was...
