Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ok guys... been fighting with the tranny for the last 3 hours. i cant seem to get it to just go in right. looking at the truck, i can get the bottom, right side, and part of the top all bolted in no problem. but the left side and top just will not go in. cant get the bolts to line up or get them in..... i've tried relifting the engine, jacking up the tranny, etc etc etc. i've run out of ideas and am taking a break. i know the splines are lined up and the reason i can say that is because when i put the tranny in gear, i cant turn the crankshaft, but when its not in gear, i can. still cant figure out how to get it all lined up.... some help please????

well fellas.... i've consulted the manual and i still cant seem to find an answer. i fought with the tranny all day today struggling to get all bolts in to no avial.... i'm tired, emotionally drained, and hurting like a mother... i'm open to any and all ideas now at this stage. this is the second day i've worked on this single task and have gotten no where. any ideas guys?

PV it sounds like the splines are in the clutch disk but the trans. input shaft is not lining up with the pilot shaft bushing or bearing in the end of the crank. How big of a gap is there between the engine and trans.?

looking at the truck, right side can be closed up from top bolt to bottom bolt. left side is roughly an inch or so.... thats where i'm stuck at... cant seem to get it in there... and i would think everything is lined up since if i put the tranny in gear, i cant turn the crank. but when its out of gear i can turn the crank... no clue whats going on. what do you think?

is the clutch working properly?

I mean, if the splines have caught in the clutch plate, it might be stopping the engine turning in gear.

Try it in gear with the clutch pedal depressed.

Just ideas... good luck.

Short for "transvestite"- a male person who has decided to have a sex change and dress up as a female. Each to their own- PV shame on you!


or hopefully PV is talking about his transmission or gearbox?

yeah well david atleast i dont drive a hairdresser's 4wd and i have mods on mine unlike you......


yes i am talking about the transmission... tranny is short for that..... sorry to burst your bubble there david, no transvite here...... but hey you keep dreaming... whatever tickles ur pickle.. no pun intended....

Actually I think you'll find I've got a few more mods than you- my suspension height is about the only standard thing on mine. Remember I've owned mine for only 18mths too; lots of time left for more mods

i dunno about MORE mods david... you forget what i've done to my rig... and got more coming... including the applause donk! that is... if i can the 2 to mate....

Replacing the engine because you've blown it up is hardly a mod!

BTW shouldn't you be out there slaving away under a disagreeable tranny?

hey! mods a mod! ur jus jealous that i had an excuse to get a new donk with more power.... and yes i should be slaving away but i'm taking a break... called sunday off and went paint balling. calling today off as well to recover from paintballing.... tomorrow i'll tackle the issue again.

OOOOh Murcod and PV... slanging match here we come...


I'm giving odds of 3:1 on the yank!



Lets hope it escalates into a bitch fight!!! That would be cool!

PV reckons Murcod wont go near mud in his hairdressers 4WD...

Yeah! I wouldn't want it to get dirty!

It's strictly for mall cruising.

murcod wrote:It's strictly for mall cruising.

Yeah, I can just imagine you driving up the 'Malls Balls' ....... maybe over the walkway by the glass elevators.........

OR

Cruising Hindley Street............'cause as we all know, there ain't too many other places to go 4WDing around Adelaide

Ain't that the truth....

Just need to get my front hub looked at and I'll be out looking for some mud again. I've got some more info on a place to check out, but it's a bit of a drive from the city.

great news guys... shes in! donk is now sitting on the mounts bolted up to the tranny and everything is good so far. now i just need to tear the intake off again in order to be able to reach a bunch of wires and hoses in order to start the hook up process. will prolly start that monday since i got a 3 day weekend of partying to do.... lots to celerbrate for me. friend graduated, i'm single, got the engine in the tranny, maintaining my 4.0 gpa, and just got a 99% on a super hard 10 question long essay exam today. party! will get back to you guys likely on tuesday with that locker company info as well as how things went monday with trying to hook everything up. i'm hoping i'll have her runnin sometime this coming week. have a great memorial weekend... wait... thats OUR national holiday.... still, have a great weekend all.

UPDATE !!

well guys.. the donk is in there.. mated and all.. just got about everything hooked up. but now i'm stuck. i got a few vaccuum hoses and few electronics that i have no idea where they go... looked around in the manual and it seems i cant find any info. so in the shop she goes when i get $$ next month. hopefully i wont get charged too much to have a mech. take a look at it and correct any mistakes i made... hate to say it but shes still not running yet...

WTF????? You were gloating about your girl not long ago, what happened?

ohhh and yeah well done with teh car...

ah yes.. the girl... broke up 3 months ago.... long distance and i couldnt see myself marrying her.. she wanted to go to cali and i told her i wasnt going to cali... so after i broke up with her.. she decided to come to my state....

PV I'm sure the manual clearly shows where all the hoses etc hook up. Look in the Emissions section.

Yes, Yes just like Murcod says -

The manual clearly states where the girlfriend gets hooked up.

Look in the misses section.

Sorry, couldn't help that comment.
