Thanks Greg, just figured that out <insert embarassed look
here>. Did I mention I'm not a mechanic? 'Scuse me while I
crawl back to the garage to attempt the reinstall.

Hi Tom,

I just got done working on an 850T Transmission, and
here is how it
works on it (I've never opened an Eldo 5 speed - and
they are a bit
different from the T):


1. The worm drive goes in...I believe a washer goes in
just before
this...but definitely not after.
2. The ball goes in.
3. The nut goes on.

On the T, there is one notch in the output shaft that is
deeper than all
the others...that is the notch in which the ball needs
to be set. Any
other notch and the ball will remain too high and the
nut will run into
it.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the confirm, Paul. I did in fact order an
additional 27mm nut so I'm good to go there. Any
thoughts
on the output shaft nut issue - is there a washer there
or
not?

Thanks, -tom

Yes you can use the same nut. It's available from MG
Cycle. I did this on my
74 and it works great. I also got a new star washer
for
 at the same time.

While putting tranny back together ('74 Eldo) I notice
that the output shaft nut (at the rear) seems to ride
directly on top of the speedo worm ball - is this
really
 normal - or should there be some kind of washer
between
 the nut and speedo worm? There wasn't one when I
disassembled it, but based on what else I've found
missing
from the PO - I don't trust that.

Also, w/o that "special" tool, I ground pegs on a
socket
 to use for putting the input hub nut on - I'm
skeptical
 I'm getting it tight enough. Can I use the same nut
that
 you use on the output shaft (27mm) - does it have
enough
 bearing surface? I'd really like to be able to put
some
 firmer torque on that input hub.

Thanks, -tom
