    how long has this issue been around? did it slowly happen or suddenly? does it grind on the range shift? there is a snap ring in the center of the synchro clutch basket, that if it breaks, it wont range shift to high range, and sometimes not at all.

    lightly oil the threads then wipe them off, and the same for the washers and under the heads of the bolts. no biggie, just dip them in some 30 w and wipe the excess off. if the threads have too much oil, they will hydraulic lock, thats why we wipe them off.. if not, it will give a false torque when tightening them. jojo

    they are re-usable...

    yes, pre-load is the opposite of end play.. Mack uses pre-load, well at least on what I used to re-build, Eaton used endplay,, so when you feel a small amount of movement in an Eaton rear input/output, or tranny output, it is correct,,,

    OK.. I get it... it's probably 3-6 lbs for new bearings and 2-5 lbs on re-used bearings.. You use a 'Fish scale' to pull the string.. and read the scale.. I was taught that method when I used to build Mack rears.. it checks pre-load... not end play.. Jojo

    Bob,, this thread has helped me get it in gear.. I have been picking/working on my '48 INT.. I'm taking parts off the engine and sand blasting and painting them. As you can see, I still have more covers to remove and blast/paint........ I have to make my own gaskets. I found a full gasket kit, but it was $800.00.... Anyway, thanks for the inspiration..

    Sounds good. my guess is the trans in still in the truck. A fixed gear for sure, however , all the counter shaft gears are pressed on, so any move of the gear is already an issue. I will go try to find my book for the spec..

    I think its .003'' - .005''............. I will try to find my TRD72 book.. Hell, I just built one a year and a half ago..

    Vlad... I have had the pleasure of meeting 5 BMT brothers, 3 at one truck show.. I figured they would be as cool and friendly in person, as they are here at BMT.. I was right ! Sometimes I feel like it may be a 'Divine Meeting' here at BMT.. I know for me it is.. Jojo

    I wonder if it is on the firewall, in the center behind the valve cover, like it is on later models ?
  14. Joey Mack
