Two questions....
For someone who has never even seen the inside of a manual transmission,
(any transmission) please explain why you are having to pull off (remove) any
gears.
And how can you remove gears from a long shaft with a "press" -
can't picture that in my head.
I understood that the bearings,which you are doing the rebuild for, are on the
ends of the shafts.
Do the bearings and races come off easily - slip off ?
Any special tools needed? What tools should I start to buy for this job?
This is why pictures are so helpful.
My manual transmission is becoming quite noisy when I start the engine in cold
weather - on the right side facing the engine from the front of the car.
The noise goes away if I press in the clutch - I suppose one or both of the shafts
stops rotating then.
I am worried that the noisy transmission will one day make a big "Chunk!" sound....
and that will be all she wrote...
What is peculiar is that all the gears change like a slip and slide. My Synchro's
must still be quite good. No shifting problems whatsoever - just noise.
I am supposing one of the shaft bearings is worn and "Chattering".
The Throwout bearing must be still good because the noise is there ONLY when
the clutch pedal is out. The Throwout bearing only engages when the pedal is in and
that is when the noise goes away.
