Shimming? The only things that might a "Shim" are these small washers that the Main input and counter shafts sit on. Looking at the book it seams as if thats what they are talking about.

In the book it talks about removing the "Oil guide plate" and the "Shim" around it, I never touched that when I was working on the transmission. so leaving it alone is probably a good idea.

When you first said Shims i was thinking about the type of shim where you put a piece of metal or wood in something to make it tight :lol: I was thinking "What!?! No There are no Shims in there" Then I was thinking maybe he means those washers? then Looked at the book.

On those washers/shims I reused the ones that came in the transmission. I didn't mess with them.

I have had to pull the snap ring out and straighten it out using a hammer and a block of wood. When you put it back together be sure the ring is in the groove in the bearing.

I'm about to crack open my first trans because there's a hole in my lower bell housing, I have no idea where it came from so I'm just replacing it.

- Thu Jul 21, 2011 4:16 am #264312 i have a bearing going out in my trans, just not sure which one it is. when sitting in neutral it growls if i hold the clutch pedal in the noise stops. i had the same noise in my other trans so i bought this 1 for $50 off cl and it was fine for 6 months now it makes the same noise as the old 1. i think it is the main shaft bearing, i was gonna fix my old trans and swap it back in cause i found out monday that i have oil leaking from my trans.. :thumbdown: seams to be leaking from the center of the two halves.
