Hello all I finally rounded up some time to play with the trans. Thought i would post what was found. Maybe someone could add some insight on what happened? I added a link to the old thread since its been a wile. The truck is more of a toy so it sits in my shop most of the time.
Anyway what happened was the sealing rings on the input shaft were marred up and the bushing that is inside the pump for the input shaft came loose. The thing I'm trying to wrap my head around is why or even if the heat really caused the bushing failure. There are no signs of heat anyware. All the clutches looked good and no warped or discolored steels. Maybe some one could shed some light on what may have happened to cause the bushing failure?
I ordered the parts and am thinking on putting it back together on Friday that is if parts show. If anyone has an idea on how to keep this from happening again or why it happened it would greatly appreciated.
