Again, time for an update in this rose month, although in a full restoration all is not yet rosy either... Sometimes unexpected, inexplicable things happen and for ease I put these in the "small disasters" category. I'll come back with tasty examples later, but for now let's go on with the gearbox.
Of course we work in a clean greasy place with all the parts in their order.
TIP: A very good cross section drawing of a 354 (HAO) gearbox is essential for the proper assembly of the 2 different types of synchromesh hubs.
The 3rd / 4th synchro is of the Borg-Warner type, the 1st / 2nd synchro is of the Renault type.
Photographs of the step by step compilation and ensure that all parts are properly immersed in gearbox oil.
"We are the Borg, you will be assimilated"...
When we will fill the gearbox later we can add an additive. You really do not need to purchase a 20 gram liquid MOS2 tube, there is a much better and virtually free alternative.
Gasket Bellhouse and think of the seal.
Greasing some axles.
A new old worm gear wheel
The old nut was damaged ...
To tighten the nut, we shift two gears simultaneously, in this way we lock the gearbox.
Filler rings primary shaft and gasket front cover.
Lids...
And for the time being finished.
