[@tandemcompound2]

Great job. Thanks for posting. I have a model a transmission I am going to replace the output shaft bearing with a new sealed bearing. It was great to see how it goes apart.

This video series has to be THE ONLY one of it's kind on KZbin! This video also shows us how far we came as far as horsepower. Nice videos Ken!

[@1970chevelle396]

Astral Auto Repairs Thanks. I don't normally work on cars that old. I drove it around the block tonight.

[@OnlineAutoRepairVideos]

GET OUT!!! That had to be so much fun! Are there a lot of old cars out there?

[@1970chevelle396]

Astral Auto Repairs Not that many old cars. People know I will work on anything . LOL.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Wow 40 horsepower with straight cut gears and no synchro would be nice for the race track hahahah it's like the dog box in my rally car except I got a bit more than 40 horsepower lol interesting video like to see how these old things are put together back in the good old days thanks for posting it

[@1970chevelle396]

bodgit and leggit garage Thats one of the easiest transmission I've ever rebuilt.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

1970chevelle396 something I've never really got into is building transmissions how many miles.is on that old one

[@1970chevelle396]

bodgit and leggit garage Im not sure how many miles it has on it. Probably had all the original parts still in it.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

1970chevelle396 what is it like getting parts for them

[@1970chevelle396]

bodgit and leggit garage There actually very easy to get the parts for. And the parts are cheap. I was surprised.

[@AaBb-zj2ld]

its a good idea to knock that pin apart for when you want to freshen the bushings the pin will be greased and fall right out when you need to work on them in car. and place the pin so you can hammer it down not up.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Nice job Ken, it is amazing all the parts that are still available for those Fords. Take care

[@1970chevelle396]

Rusty Glovebox And the parts are pretty cheap to buy.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks for a detailed video.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Looks like a nice easy rebuild for ya. Good job! So is the 600W oil a was mineral based gear oil so it does not ruin the yellow (copper,brass,bronze etc) metals in the transmission?

[@brettduffy1992]

Can you make it synchronized aftermarket

[@1970chevelle396]

+brettduffy19992 I dont think its possible to do that.

[@randyhendrick3060]

Nice work. thanks

[@scottsinfl]

Great vid Ken. And wow 600 weight?

[@1970chevelle396]

scottsinfl It's slow to fill it with 600 weight.

[@scottsinfl]

Yea you would almost have to warm it in the hot sun before the pour or the squeeze.

[@andrewp70]

How much gear oil does the transmission take? the two blottles?

[@1970chevelle396]

andrewp70 It took a little more than one bottle.

[@tomtomsolvic]

Thanks for sharing!

[@c.thompson6638]

Helpful video. Are those American made parts? How'd she work after reinstalling and break-in?

[@1970chevelle396]

C. Thompson It works good after reinstalling it. Not sure if all the parts are American made.

[@cecil6711]

Nice work buddy. They are ready for a 347 stroker now.lol

[@1970chevelle396]

cecil6711 Thanks. That would be a lot better than the original engine.

[@danesderelicts]

Not too helpful. Better if you showed how you pressed or assembled all the parts. Particularly the front bearing.

[@myredute]

Your better off using that box in exchange for a complete Mitchell aftermarket Synchro box that has synchromesh on 2nd. & 3rd. plus a differential splitter at the same time. Rebuilding an original box is a waste of time. After you swap it for the Mitchell set-up, you'll wonder why you ever put up with the old "crash" box.
