Inspecting Used Warn Overdrive & Fixing bearings falling out of T90 transmission

Digging into the $50 warn overdrive. I also show how I fix the age old problem “my bearings fell out of my t90”. You know the the one….you are trying to remove the transfer case when you hear a bunch of tiny metal pieces rattling around inside your transmission 😆 use code Redeyegarage10 at www.kaiserwillys.com to save 10% on your entire order.

I’m wrapping up my 1958 CJ5 frame up resto myself. I had that same tar-like undercoating on mine as well. I found best way to remove is either a wire wheel and a lot of patience or also found an oscillating multi-tool worked best but does scratch up the metal, so just be aware. Heat gun and scraper also works. Tried all sorts of chemicals with no luck. Great score on the overdrive. Heck great score on all of it. Congrats. I picked up a Warn overdrive about a year ago with all the parts you showed. Haven’t thoroughly inspected yet, but now will look for the items you called out. I enjoy your videos plus your commentary toward the nay sayers crack me up. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you.

I picked up a 57 wagon with a husky overdrive. At the time didn’t even know what it was. But now I know. I watched a few videos and now I’m a KZbin t90 rebuild “professional” mechanic.

Reminds me of my days back in the 80's when you could go junk yard shopping for Jeep parts.

I just replaced my Wagon T 90 and D 18 transfer case with a re built. My T 90 was popping out of 3rd gear. I will re build trans and thus have a spare. My Warn Overdrive would not come off as easy as yours. I did not force it but slowly worked it with a wood wedge. Careful not to ruin the matting surface between transfer and OD. It took a good hour to remove it but was all good. I think the plantary and the shifting shaft formed a hydraulic suction on the two parts. Cleaned it up and installed on the re built 18 and it works good shifts fine. Great video nice score. A good used Warn is worth $600 or $700.

Nice find!!!

Totally rebuildable with the WARN O.D.!! If you can't rebuild it, flip it and make your money back.

I enjoyed this video

Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

That was a deal! If you pull the detent ball out of overdrive would you mind to tell me the diameter. Mine fell out and I can’t find a size for a replacement.

They are listed for sale on the advanced adapter parts list. You can order them individually. I don’t believe I’ll be taking this one apart anytime soon.

Great score! My newish overdrive pops out of direct drive. I’m assuming it needs to be shimmed but not sure what direction. Can you give me some advice for this problem?

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Did you take the protrusion measurements when you installed it? If so…what were your numbers?
