42D22 Posted January 4, 2023 Report Posted January 4, 2023 Hello, I need to take the transmission out of my '48 for rebuild. I would like to leave the fluid drive unit attached to engine,(less meat and weight to move around under car). Is this ok to do or is it best to remove the entire unit? Wondering if any damage can be done to fluid drive pulling the transmission out and down. Thanx in advance. Quote

Doug&Deb Posted January 4, 2023 Report Posted January 4, 2023 Before removing the trans place wooden wedges between the flywheel part of the fluid coupling and the coupling itself. Cut slots in the wedges and use safety wire to hold them snug. It’s easy to crack the carbon seal in the coupling with any lateral movement. Carefully pull the trans straight back. 1 Quote
42D22 Posted January 8, 2023 Author Report Posted January 8, 2023 I guess I should have laid underneath and had a good look before asking the question. It is about the only way to do it. Easiest anyway. Just don't want to damage anything inside fluid drive. Quote
