Time to rebuild the tranny

69fastback · January 5th, 2009, 10:58 PM

I've been noticing that when I'm cruising down the highway in fourth and let off the gas (take load off the enigne), it would shimmy and shake a little, but when I put a load back on it, the shimmy would stop. In the last few weeks, I've also developed a clutch shimmy when I engaged the clutch, and it's a new clutch and flywheel, and on top of that, the input shaft seal has started leaking pretty badly.

I pulled the tranny, mainly to replace the seal and stop the leak. I noticed there was some play in the input shaft........a lot of play. I can actually move the shaft in and out 3"-4"

. In a toploader, fourth gear rides on that main shaft, which would explain my shimmy. I guess it's time to go through it
