I fully agree. Pull it.
Hi Joe,
We can supply you with a reman unit that has been redesigned to get rid of the inherent design flaws. We rebush the cases with stainless steel sleeves to locate the shift rail correctly. We have redesigned the shift forks and created a custom shift cam which prevents side loading of the shift rails causing neutralization, grinding, and premature case wear at the shift rail bores. The grinding you are getting is caused by excess play in the range fork allowing the range sleeve to lose engagement with the input. A reman unit will cost you $995.00 plus a refundable $300.00 core charge. I will be back with you tomorrow with a freight quote.
I can sell you the parts to rebuild the unit, but there is substantial machine work we perform, which is beyond the average mechanic. This rebuilt will outlast the vehicle.
Best regards,
Mike
This thread from this point on is where, as you read the 4405 Diary, you should post your comments, questions, point out mistajes, make suggestions and in general post things you might otherwise be tempted to post within the Diary itself.
Open season.
Example: "You mis-spelled 'mistakes' in your first sentence above dummy."
In response to this and your PM:I need to know the proper way to put the clutches and steels back in the 4405 T case drum. I had the drum with its contents set aside so it wouldn't get touched untill my son decieded to use the, let's see what's inside this thing idea, and dumped everything out on the work bench.
