charliechitlins Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 This is a big bummer, I think. Broken kick shaft. Between the 2 splines where the kicker arm goes on, there is a hole through the shaft making it very weak. Is this factory, or a cob job by a previous hammer-and-tongs man to secure a stripped shifter? Either way, the end of the shaft snapped off. Does this mean split the cases to install a new shaft? Is a new shaft even available? I wonder how the new girlfriend feels about engines on the kitchen table.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliechitlins Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 OK...all the parts are available, and the 247 will be coming completely apart. Any words of caution or instruction (not to mention encouragement) will be taken gladly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belldane Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Yep. The primary gear on the clutch side will either come off very easily with a 3 jaw puller or can be very stubborn to get off. If it is stubborn you will need to put as much pressure as you can on the puller and heat the gear up with an oxy. Just watch it as it can come out at a hundred miles an hour. Apart from that the rest is fairly straight forward unless the gearbox collapses on you as you split the cases and end up with a pile of gears and rollers at the bottom of the case. Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Pile of gears and rollers....and shims, I imagine. Can't wait! I've been told that the transmission USUALLY stays in the right half. Well...ya can't put a price on a good time! Cover me...I'm goin' in.
