I have done lots of pickups and one older IH semi with the 5 + 4 Transmission, so the transmission are relatively light. How hard is to pull a transmission on a semi. Posted 21:34 (#620413) Subject: Semi Transmission Semi Transmission Jump to page : 1 Now viewing page 1 Not too bad of a job, just take your time and if you get too stressed-walk away for 10 min.You are logged in as a guest. and earplugs for the kids because of some words you may make up. Should be about 1/2 inch? inside the bellhousing-not flush with it. I cant think of any other tips off hand that hasnt been mentioned here or by others.ĭef make sure converter is ALL the way in before installing. I did both so it wouldnt get tangled up somewhere or pinched between bell housing and block on reassembly.ĭont forget the threadlock goo for TQ conv bolts-red or blue, up to you. Dont forget to disconnect nuetral safety switch harness either at top of firewall or down by switch.
#HOW TO INSTALL TRANSMISSION WITH JACK DRIVERS#
I have headers-hedman?-so I had to disconnect the inner tie rod on drivers side and also disconnect pitman and that other are?lol and slide drag link out from headers just to get the starter out. So wrenched the top 4 at a 1/4 turn at a time-fun lol. I actually raised the tranny side up to get at the top bolts on bell housing-didnt have enough extensions, universals, and short socket to reach. Then passing gear linkage at bell housing then linkage at z-bar-take zbar off and let hang-only need to disconnect linkage from tranny side but at the zbar. I first undid the driveshaft, then inspection plate and TQ conv bolts. I used the car jack to lift the front end up to get the trans out- looked like it was popping a wheelie lol. I literally just did this- twice- in the last 3 weeks and finished the second time today- dumb me didnt change the front pump seal the first time. Need to take the oil pressure sending unit out also to get to a bellhousing bolt. Mark where the distributor sits on the block also- that way the timing is about dead on. I realize our 318,340, and 360's are either in or 180 degrees out, but if it makes it easier. Also, put engine on TDC because you will be turning engine to get the torque converter bolts outs. I forgot to put it in before the trans went up.:banghead:ĭo like greg said and spray paint 1 flex plate ear while hooked to converter. I walked up to the front and started to put them in and realized there was no converter for them to go in to.:violent1: One time I was putting a trans back into a 4x4 and we were all fooling around and generally goofing off in the shop, I got it all back together exept for the converter bolts.

I drop the crossmember before removing the linkages because they are easier to get to with the trans down a little.Īlso don't let the converter fall out on your foot. It's also a matter of personal opinion what the exact order of these are, but this is the best way for me.

stablize the trans and pull the bellhousing bolts. remove the four flexplate bolts and push the converter back.ħ. Pull the dust cover off the bell housing as well as the starter.Ħ. disconnect speedo cable and neutral safety switch.ĥ. disconnect all linkages and cooling lines.Ĥ. take your distributor cap off (You'll break it when the engine tilts back)ģ.
