Need T5 Reshim Help (E3Sean)

Siegedg505 · August 17th, 2010, 10:05 PM

Ok so I was trying to reshim my T5 like this (How To Shim The T5 Input Shaft), and so parts fell out. I'm pretty sure that i am going to have to replace these parts but here the pics of the droppings.

and here is the retainer

any help is appreciated

look at your mainshaft i bet it is all effed up. its gonna have to be fixed as well

Siegedg505 · August 22nd, 2010, 07:32 PM

The main shaft looks ok, but i'll inspect it again. I ordered a new bearing to replace the old one

e3sean · August 22nd, 2010, 08:38 PM

at first it looked like that was the loose needel bearings that ride on the mainshaft now i see that is the input shaft bearing. that is uausally caused fron running low on fluid. easy fix. new bearing retainer and new input bearing/ race.

cool I'll order a new bearing retainer. Thanks man!

Siegedg505 · August 29th, 2010, 03:23 PM

so what is a good sealant for the bearing retainer?

Siegedg505 · August 29th, 2010, 07:16 PM

Ok so I have a new issue, my bearings won't fit over the base of the input shaft. The bearings will fit over the snout (where the shaft engauges the flywheel) but not over the base (where the inout shaft sits inside the tranny housing), it's not wide enough.

it gets pressed on. how did you get the old one off?

Siegedg505 · August 30th, 2010, 08:17 PM

ok that makes sense, I never removed it. If you look in the first pic it looks like it got shredded.

Siegedg505 · September 3rd, 2010, 12:49 AM

Any ideas of where I coul dhave it pressed on? Shouldn't any transmission shop be able to do it?

e3sean · September 3rd, 2010, 01:09 AM

if you have a vice and a bearing seperator or an air chizel the old one is easy to remove even a hammer and a chizel will get it off. the new one is easy to install. get a peice of pipe the right size and use a hammer to hit the new bearing on just have the base of the input shaft sitting on a flat hard surface like a plate of steel or the concrete will work too. or if you have access to a press that will work too.

Siegedg505 · September 3rd, 2010, 01:13 AM

ok thanks, i'll get on that tomorrow.

Siegedg505 · September 3rd, 2010, 10:29 PM

And this really works? Do I need to use any lube or anything to help the bearings slide onto the input shaft?

e3sean · September 4th, 2010, 04:36 PM

you can but no and you can put the input shaft in the freezer for an hour or so to help but i never do.
