Well Hello There Fellow Technicians And Hivers!
It Has Been Quite Sometime!
Now in truth this really has been so long since I've gotten one that's as badly beaten as this transmission! Well it drove and it felt like only the clutch was buggered up but then again we only saw the body of the vehicle and it looked absolutely immaculate!
Little did we know that this wasn't the case at all! Not at all! Fortunately for me I wasn't the lucky bloak who had to remove it! I was the lucky bloak who got to WAP it off and get dirt in my mouth!
So let's see if we can possibly get this thing cleaner before I've got to tear it all down again!
I do have high hopes!
This Is Gruesome!
Real gruesome! But a job is a job hey but these are friends of the bossman! I do think they need to know the condition of their vehicle at the very least! But then again telling them and then going ahead and cleaning it out, well that doesn't really make sense at all.
Of-course we are going to thoroughly clean everything with the rebuild but washing the pickup underneath seems pointless because it'll just go back to the farmlands! For some more mud of-course!
I mean this is the most amount of stuff I've ever seen trapped between the transfer case and the transmission! Like legitly I have never seen this much gunk and grime! I do feel proud though!
Not As Bad!
But then again there was something big and chunky moving around in there! The flywheel and clutch assembly! So it made sense that there aren't as much! But for the inside of a bellhousing that is a little too much dirt if you'd ask me!
Laughs this guy is going to get one major build on his pickup truck! I know I said I've not seen worse but really this might be the most roughed up one I've ever laid eyes on!
Let's get her back on the road!
Without A Doubt!
Now this clutch without a doubt will have to be replaced! It'll just have to!
The thing is I wont be wanting to fit this on my vehicle after a transmission rebuild! Look how rusted up that thing is! Actually the entire thing is rusted up real good!
Oh but wait I am spotting on something!
Oh Dear!
Well at the very least the person who bent it knew not to bend it back! Laughs! It's not that big of a deal because it's not a main cooling line but it sure as hell has to restrict a lot of water flow through out the entire system!
It's things like this that has nothing to do with me that makes me want to panic the hell out! Why though?
It has got nothing to do with me! Nothing at all!
