Thats awesome.

GOOD MORNING, FROM THE PHILIPPINES. I AM STILL USING A CJ2A, WILLYS JEEP, WHICH I INHERITED FROM MY FATHER, WHO WAS A USAFFE VETERAN DURING WORLD WAR 2. THE TRANSMISSION IS T-90, WITH A TRANSFER CASE WHICH I SUPPOSSED IS A DANA 18. MY PROBLEM IS: 1) 2ND AND 3RD GEARS CANNOT BE ENGAGED ANYMORE; 2) GEAR OILS ARE LEAKING FROM BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE; 3) PARTS SUPPLIERS OF THIS KIND OF JEEP ARE NO LONGER STOCKING OF SUCH PARTS, RENDERING MY JEEP UNMAINTAINED FOR 2 YEARS NOW. I LOVE THIS JEEP. IT HELPED ME A LOT IN MY FARM FOR MANY YEARS. I WAS VERY RELIABLE. I WANTED VERY MUCH TO RESTORE ITS RELIABILITY BACK TO ITS FORMER CAPACITY. I HAVE MADE A THOROUGH OVERHAUL OF THE ENGINE 8 YEARS AGO, AND IT IS STILL VERY RELIABLE. I NEED ADVISE ON THE FOLLOWING: 1) WHERE CAN I POSSIBLY GET THE COMPONENT PARTS TO REBUILD MY T-90 TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY. 2) HOW CAN I GET THE PARTS ON LINE? MANY THANKS.

So just sell it

I have a 98 subaru impreza 5 speed that is stuck in reverse what are your guys thoughts

Sir, recently I assembled a T90 wirlth the help of your videos. However, due to some mistake of mine, the engine stops when I release the clutch on 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear, although I have not connected the output shaft to wheel. The transfercase shaft are also rotating on engaging transfercase shift lever (the transmission gear in neutral). What may possible be the mistake I have made

I know that you used #2 Forma gasket on the bolts. Did you use any sealant on the gasket? Did you place the lever against the cam or above it or below it ? Did you move the cam with the crank bolt ?

Sir you have done a great job explaining this issue!

If you weren't a teacher, well then you should have been. Thank you

could you still use the bad main gears as clutch alignment tools?

I just use light hrease to hold the washers in place and install the cluster gear i have never had any issues where I needed to dry fit or use a dial indicator nor does the factory manual make any mention of it

Definitely wizard level information. Just what i was looking for, thanks!

Is this mustang gt ? Mt82?

Does it work the same with first gear I have a 1941 Chevy special deluxe coupe 2 speed manual 3 on the tree my probably is first gear would get stuck but will shift is 2nd and 3rd np always gets stuck in 1st and I would have to give it gas while letting go of clutch and shift hard for it to move

🇵🇬🇵🇬,,

Mine walks out of first after I rebuilt it. I dont understand how since they are straight cut. It is an aftermarket cluster gear. I guess I can pull off the cover and see what its doing

Good day..I have a 2014 fuso 4p10 stuck in 2nd gear but can be released from the gear cable connections under the truck. Once released and try another gear it also gets stuck and cannot come back to neutral..is it a synchroniser issue aswell?

in 30 years those kids are still going to remember how much fun they had working in the shop with you!

These videos make my heart happy!

Thanks for making a difference in the Willys World!!

Great videos, Rick, I just took my apart and the main shaft has metal basically welded to it where the pilot bearing is in the motor and looks like there was issues near the throwout bearing. Also my case is shot due to bad area where the brass washer rides up against it. It’s pitted and scraped up. My question is, are the T 90 transmissions that you see on eBay for $1000 from India any good? I’m sure my transmission has more problems than what I stated, but that was enough for me to stop inspecting.

Hi Rick, Thanks for this great info. I'm hoping you may have some tips to help me with my situation. I just got a '48 Willys up and running and got it out on the road for some short rides. For the most part all shifting went well for the first few days but then at one point I started having trouble with shifting. Now when the Engine is running I can no longer shift into first or reverse. It just grinds the gears. However, if I stop the engine I can then shift into first or reverse and then fire the engine back up to get going. The shifting continues to be an issues though after doing this. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! -Bill

Hi Rick, I realize this video is a bit older now, but man it’s incredibly informative! As a younger guy, I appreciate this sort of knowledge getting passed down for these old machines. Thank you!!

Great series, answered a lot of questions... unfortunately all the answers were "replace the part" or at least in my case... My T90's were both full of water and rust when I disassembled them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/laWzdYx6btOjr9E

just getting into my T90 and transfer case.... but for some reason mine doesn't come apart quite as easy as yours...lol mine is full of rust and grime and who knows what else! lots of good content, i am subscribing for sure! kzbin.info/www/bejne/laWzdYx6btOjr9E

I’ve watched all five of your rebuild videos now and they are very well done. I think I’ve now got the confidence to tackle a rebuild when and if the time comes. So...here’s a question: My 49 CJ3a doesn’t jump out of second gear, however it does crunch ever so slightly going into second unless I either double clutch or shift veeery slowly from first to second at about a fast walking pace. Is there anything I should try or investigate before tearing the thing apart? Am I likely to see the issue by just taking the tower off for a look see? All other shifting is smooth and silent. Thanks again.

Great walk through of an inspection and invaluable tips. For instance I wonder how many folks don’t realize that first gear wear you showed is inconsequential while that teeny tiny extra bit of material on the synchro springs can be a big problem.

Fantastic video - thank you.

Fantastic to have discovered your channel and thanks for the effort you have put into these videos. Good lighting and camera work makes all the difference! I’m a year into owning my first jeep - a 49 CJ3a and have a lot to learn from you. Looking forward to the journey.

Hi Rick, I discovered your videos last week as I'm rebuilding tranny and transfer case on my M38. Very informative and well explained... In this video do you use an air saw or cutting disc to cut out body parts? Thank you for posting all your knowledge and experience for everybody to see, greatly appreciated 🙂👍

Use a little air or damp rag to cool metal as you weld to keep down warpage. I find it helps a little.

Boy how I dislike doing body work on cars. I’ve only ever restored 1 vehicle and was together with my brother’s help. The car was a 1969 Datson 2000 Roadster 5-speed convertible. It was silver and had a shiny lacquer paint job. I wish I had never sold it but I got married and needed more reliable transportation. I saw your fishing poles behind the toolbox. This is quite the project Rick. I certainly find this interesting. I’m looking forward to seeing your progress! - Chris

Your doing a fine job of bringing her back to life. Mine required nearly as much welding patches as yours. It's all good work and you will be very satisfied that you saved her. Love my 46 cj2q.

My 46 needs a floor mostly, and I have zero experience with Jeep body repair so I’ll be watching from the perspective of ‘can I do that’. I trust you’ll be a fine example! Thanks sincerely for making vids of your project.

I have watched your previous videos, I love the way you get things done, easy and effective. By the way, I consider my self super lucky, when I bought mine for restoration I did not have to weld a single hole, all I did wire brush, paint and it was back to when it was born :) Looking for the rest of the videos as you go, its been a while :)

All your other videos were great, can’t wait for the rest of these!

I got stuck between second/neutral yesterday while in town. When I pulled the shift tower, the square on the end of the shift cane was actually twisted a bit and jammed between the rails.

My T90 pops out of second on decel. I noticed as much or more play in my 2-3 shift fork (actually on both) that was on yours. What size roll pin did you use for yours? The shift tower fixes are something I can do quick and easy, I'm supposed to take my CJ2 to Arkansas in a few weeks and am tracking down the last few little issues.

Muchas gracias, excelente presentación!!

I feel like the little kid following along! Great way to spend time with your family!

Great video, short sweet and to the point, I've got a Mazda five speed in an f150 that keeps getting stuck in fourth. Ive been inside a five speed out of a ranger before and after tearing it apart and putting it back together about three times on my daughter's high school pickup I had a sneaking suspicion that this was probably my issue.

Hello Rick, I just picked up a 1945 Jeep Willys CJ2A. It won't go into 2nd gear. 1, 3 and Reverse work fine but it will not shift to second. What do you suggest may be an issue? I would like to have some idea of what to look for before I go opening it up. Thanks

Well, like a dope I followed Rick's Part Number SKS 6206-2RSNR/CE to the tee. I should have checked it but I found out it should be SKS ##### 6208 ####### -2RSNR/CE when I opened the package to the one I ordered. WAAAy TOO Small!

What about the T-84 transmission jumps out of second gear do you have a video???

Hey Rick, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for making the video short and complete.

Is there a reason you skipped the transmission oil retainer washer when assembling the main shaft?

Rick, just watching your videos and I absolutely love it your sharing these experiences with your kids, grandkids. My son tells me all the time he remembers fondly our time working on projects together!

Hello, Rick! I came across your videos on T90 transmissions and have found them to be extremely helpful. I appreciate you being methodical in your lessons and anecdotal on potential problem areas as well. I have always felt that if you have a gift or solid experience in something that it is a good thing to share with others. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise too.

Similar to a T-86. Studebaker manual says to instal cluster gears, shaft, needles, washers and then install output and then input shaft and THEN install input shaft bearing. Nothing abouf how to install input shaft bearing without beating or pressing which could destroy brass synchronizer. It does say to use special tool to protect synchronizer ring. Cant imagine what that is.

Hey Rick, wow! Ive niw watched the whole series and your videos are helping me so much. I really appreciate all the work and please know how helpful they are to shadetree mechs like myself. A question for you: I'm redoing the T90 in my International scout 800 with a T90 c. Unfortunately, the nose on my main shaft is shot and I'm having a heck of a time finding a replacement. I see so many jeep main shafts online, ut the pictures look slightly different a bit back from the nose end. Will any of those work for me or do i need an international harvester specific main shaft? And how bout the overhaul kits for jeep t90s? Are the needle bearings, thrust washers and ball bearings the same for IH and Jeep T90s? Thanks for any help.

Thx for the feedback, but it"s not as pleasant as a reverse whine. I'll check the end float on the cluster gear when it finally comes out.
