Hi Tom,

As long as the clutch input hub is removed, then you should be able to
drive the input shaft out of the case. Just put a block of wood on top
of the shaft and give it a good smack with a hammer. I just removed one
yesterday from an 850T transmission and it was tight, but came right out
with a fit smacks. For insurance, I always place the transmission on a
couple of blocks of wood, so I don't marr the gasket mating surfaces.

Pete's articles are the best. I've also posted some info on my website
that you may find useful as a supplement to Pete's info. Best of luck.

The long story as short as possible - last spring I bought
my '74 disc Eldo Police and after a few miles the forward
layshaft nut chewed through the tranny case (last year). I
tried the quick fix - attaching a new nut through the
chewed hole and sealing the hole up with scrap aluminum
and JB Weld - and the tranny made godawful noises when
shifting up from first as it transitioned neutral - so I
put it away.

Just getting around to starting the project now - so,
using Pete Ropers DIY article from guzzitech on shimming
as a reference I pulled the tranny apart today - and it
all looks brand spanking new. Nothing broken, no metal
bits. The input shaft is not coming out, even after a few
taps. Before I go wailing on it, I thought I'd check to
see if there's something I missed - it feels like its
still "locked" in place - I removed the nut, tang washer
and Boss. Also interesting, I only found one hardened
washer under the pegnut on the speedo, not under the drive
itself?

If anyone has any hints on what to look for, and
reshimming the 3 shafts (not just the drum), certainly
appreciated.

Thanks, -tom
