Transmission Rebuilding
Wayne:
When are you going to put out a book on rebuilding transmissions. Namely, the 915.

Why wait?
The 901 and the 915 are close enough that this will help guide you. I would get a copy of the exploded view diagrams specific for the 915. http://home.san.rr.com/pb914/rebuild/ James

The 915 isn't that hard dude, as long as your not hard set on trying to not buy new tools that is.

Yep, it's actually pretty quick. I rebuilt a 901 yesterday for one of my buddies, while he stripped my 2.2 down to a long block.

Reading it, gives me a lot more confidence that rebuilding a transmission could be my next project.

This past weekend comment:
"Holy S#it!" "I don't like hearing 'HS' when you're talking about my tranny" "Look at this pinion shaft bolt/speedo worm" Someone used an air chisel on the nut. However. The tool marks (gouges) show it was used in the installation direction. Fortunately, I have a few extras laying around....
