H5WAGON Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Ok, helping a friend with his 510. Engine is in and all good...but the transmission has a nice growl to in in neutral. When you push the clutch in, it goes away.:rolleyes: All the gears work fine, no other noises. Drained the gear oil and refilled, found a few chunks in the pan. (looks like bearing housing chunks?) My 1st guess is the input shaft support bearing, but the transmission is still in the car, so testing for play....I will have to wait to get it out. Can a shade-tree mechanic change this bearing or are special tools needed. He may just want to get another one, but if the bearing isn't to much $ we may try to replace. Anyone done this before? Any tips or tricks? Quote Link to comment

( teeth chunks or many shavings ) Mainly a lot of shavings, a nice little display on the magnet....lol.....the chunks were little......maybe part of the bearing race. We will be pulling it soon and taking the front cover off and peek inside. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I've taken one appart (didn't buy it!) and I have one, and in both cases it was the lower front counter shaft bearing that was bad. By bad I mean the balls fell out when draining it. If so it's an easy fix. The case comes apart with a 12mm wrench and a pair of snap ring pliers. Once off you can inspect the main and counter gears for damage. You will need to borrow a gear puller to get the bearing off. The new bearing can be hammered on with a block of wood and then a length of pipe. I'll post my 'How To Remove The Front Case' and some pictures when I get home. Quote Link to comment

Braden Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 mike is right, shouldnt be too hard, just make sure you keep everything clean and use lots o brake cleen and compressed air to ensure there are no peices in anythign else Quote Link to comment
