MAYBE YOU CAN SEND A PIC OF THE "SNOUT" ON THE FRONT OF YOUR TRANNY
SEND THE DIMENSIONS OF YOUR CLUTCH DISC
RIGHT NOW I'M GOING OUTSIDE TO TAKE A PIC OF MY TRANNY "SNOUT" ON "WILLY", MY 1946 WILLYS CJ-2A
I'M IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING MY "TRASHED" 20 YEAR OLD THROW OUT BEARING
THIS SORTA HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS AGO....I ONLY CRIED WHEN NO ONE WAS LOOKIN'
OF COURSE---I'M GONNA CHANGE THE REST OF THE CLUTCH SYSTEM TOO. ALONG WITH A NEW GEAR RING, AND HAVE THE FLYWHEEL SURFACED. MY DISC STILL LOOKS REALLY NEW AFTER 20 YEARS (IT'S LEAVING TOO)
I'M GONNA REPLACE THE INPUT SEAL AND BOTH OUTPUT SEALS.
WHILE I'M AT IT, THE BELL-CRANKS AND ALL PIVOTS ARE GONNA BE MODIFIED AND ROLLER BEARINGS INSTALLED (A MOD I DID TO MY '77 CJ 5--LITTLE FRICTION, AND THE RODS AND THEIR "FEMALE ROD HOLES", WILL NO LONGER "SAW" THRU EACH OTHER)
WHEN THEY DO SAW THRU EACH OTHER...THE CLUTCH ENGAGES AND YOU CRASH INTO WHATEVER IS AHEAD OF YOU OR YOU ARE LEFT STRANDED...OR YOU ARE FORCED TO CRANK UP "IN (A) GEAR" AND DRIVE UNTIL YOU FORCE THE SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL TO STOP.
I'VE DONE THIS WITH BOTH OF MY JEEPS. THE CJ 5 (MR. JEEP) NO LONGER HAS THAT PROBLEM..."WILLY" WILL BE MODIFIED REALLY SOON
"WILLY" HAS A T-90C TRANNY AND A L-134 (FLATHEAD)---THIS SAME CLUTCH SET WAS USED FROM 1941--INTO THE '70s, FOR SURE, ON THE L AND F HEAD ENGINES
MY EXPECTED SPENDING
1) CLUTCH SET--- DISC, PRESSURE PLATE, THROW-OUT BEARING, AND AN ALIGNMENT TOOL...........$84 + TAX....USING MY NEWLY FIGGERED OUT METHOD OF BUYING
2) GEAR RING-- $25
3) FLYWHEEL MACHINING--$25
4) SEALS---APPROX $15
5) MODIFICATION BEARINGS + STUFF FOR THE BELL-CRANKS--LESS THAN $40
6) PAINT & MISC--- $10
A FEW OF MY PICS OF THE '77 CJ 5 BELL-CRANK MODIFICATION WITH BEARINGS
1) END CHOPPED OFF--RING CONTAINING BEARING WITH RETAINER CLIP CENTERED AND WELDED OVER OLD ROD HOLE
2) CLIP AND WASHER REMOVED--YOU CAN SEE THE ROLLER BEARING INSIDE THE RING
3) CLUTCH PEDAL WAS REMOVED, THE OLD HOLE WAS "HOLE-SAWED" OUT LARGER, RING WELDED IN NEW HOLE--BEARING INSTALLED--ROD INSTALLED---SAME SET UP AS THE BELL-CRANK END
4) THIS IS THE CRAPPY ORIGINAL SET UP...THE NYLON PIVOTS DO NOT LAST LONG...ROD AND HOLES SAW EACH OTHER IN HALF.....THE "Z" CLOTHES HANGER ROD REPRESENTS THE 3/8 ROD BETWEEN THE PEDAL AND BELL-CRANK ("REAL ROD" NOT SHOWN IN MY PIC)
5) SPHERICAL PLANE BEARINGS TAKE THE PLACE OF THE "NYLON PIVOTS"----THE ANGLE IRON "STUDS" WERE GROUND AND KNOCKED OUT---GRADE 8 BOLTS WITH THE THREADS CUT OFF ARE WELDED IN PLACE OF THE OLD STUDS...THE SPHERICAL PLANE BEARINGS RIDE ON THE BOLT'S SHOULDERS
6) USING PAPER--I BLANKED OUT WHAT WAS CHOPPED OFF--SORTA SHOWS MY NEW SYSTEM...IF YOU CAN FIGGER IT OUT......SMALL BRASS TUBES ON THE BOLT SHOULDERS SPACE THE SPHERICAL PLANE BEARINGS INTO THE BELL-CRANK TUBE
7) THIS IS HOW THE BELL-CRANK LOOKS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIREWALL
OK--HEADED INTO THE GARAGE TO TAKE THE PICS---I'LL POST 'EM IN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES----I WANT YOU TO SEE "MY" THROW OUT SET UP
