Looks like this has been there for a while.

Like maybe from the factory!

That's what I was thinking.

I was able to find some time to jump back into this project for a bit. I got the tranny and transfer case housing both cleaned and painted. I also gave the gears a good inspection and started putting things back together.

Does your intermediate gear from the transfer case have any markings on it? I have one with a small maltese cross and another with a W with a circle around it....Just curious, I have no idea what they mean other than maybe manufacturers marks...

They are fun to work on when they are clean!

So I just had a moment of enlightenment.....

It seems all the D-18 parts use the number 18 as the first number in identifying the individual parts....my original intermediate shaft has the same number stamped on it...

Thanks for the picture!

The tranny and transfer case are now complete. They are painted and put together ready to go back in. I took my time with it and I am sure that it's going to work like it should. I'll put up a picture of the assembly when I rember to take one.


I had a leak on the rear main seal of the motor so there is no better time than now to take care of that. I pulled the pan after ordering a new seal kit from Walcks. I was able to get the new seal in with no huge problems but now I am left with a question. There is two rubber pins that go in on eather side of the rear main cap. The new ones that where in the kit are to long. Do I cut them flush or mash them in with the oil pan. I measured the hole that they go in and it looks to be about 1/2" longer

BJ,
You will want to leave them long.  I believe you want approximately 1/4" sticking above the cap. They get seated and squished when the oil pan is re-installed. 

It looks like one of your crank to flywheel bolts was removed.  I know you probably already put it back in, but if not, there is no better time than now. ;)

Ok. This passed weekend I completed the tranny install and started putting the drive line back together. I found the pinion loose on the rear axle so I yanked it iut and took it apart.




Everything was loose inside. It looked like the carrier bearings had spun a little as well.

Everything else looked good





So after cleaning everything up I started to put it back together.

The ring and pinion had been ridding a little low on the tooth but the gears where still in very good shape so I re used them. I did install all new bearings and gave it a proper gear set up. Then after tackling the outer bearings it was time to re install the axle.

I am super happy with how it all turned out. It all works so very well. It drives and shifts like it never has before.

Next on the list if things to do is the starter. The starter is not wanting to engage properly all of the time. Sometimes you push the starter pedal and it just grinds. If you wiggle it around and push it you get a perfect start. I think the end of the starter is warn out.

I made the mistake of cutting the rubber dowels for the rear main flush once.  I didnt wait around to see if they leaked, I just installed new ones. It still sucked to redo it again!

You might just need a new bendix.  Not to hard to replace.
