You are way more courageous than me. I would not be able to get that sucker back together that's how awful big task. And then to take two of them apart oh lee smokes.
I have always worked on my own cars and found the transmission, auto or standard, to be sort of "magic", I have a much better understanding of this mysterious little box, now…thanks Mustie.
My nephew restores VWs and almost always changes the rear suspension to Beatle with no reduction at the wheels. Since so few of those tow anything they aren’t passed by everything else on the road.
An IBM bookeeper made a $50,000.00 mistake. When his boss was asked if he would fire the bookeeper he explained that's he had invested $50,000.00 into his education. If he fired him someone else would hire him with his $50,000.00 education. The more mistakes you make the more valuable you become.
I'm a pretty good mechanic and the problem that you had with your ring and pinion was where your pinion gear was located. if your ring gear was smaller your pinion gear should have been pushed closer to the ring gear. if the ring gear is bigger the pinion gear should have been pulled further back away from it. There is what they call a crush collar at least on a Chevy that adjust that ultimately in the end your pinion gear was too far away from the ring gear. It should have been closer to it. Hypothetically you could have pulled the pinion out therw a couple of washers on the pinion shaft and put it back in there and it would have lined it up better yes I know it wouldn't have worked but that helps explain the concept….
After watching the rest of your video I see that you understood that. I tend to speak up before I watch the whole video. My bad
That "congagated grease" up at that ridge was from the old oils having an excessive amount of paraffin in them, which tended to separate under load, or when sitting for long periods of time, so not a bad sign at all, just old lube in it basically. Know you like using brake clean to clean out things like that (doesn't everybody?) but be careful that you rinse that with some type of lube or oil before final assembly, as a chemical in those tends to ruin new fluids and can create squeaks and grinding nobody wants. A bit of fluid film would even work. And with trans and differentials have had good luck using the black ATV sealant just a thin seal of it, allowed to bead up and then assembled, and have never had a leak yet…but people are often sloppy with it and get some inside the cases.

The bent arm on the cross shaft is for an earlier double nut clutch cable.

Found this very interesting Mustie 👍 Thanks for sharing your knowledge and a way that we understand 😊🏴
