[Eagle_Adam]

coming along nicely man! 

[darrel]

Darrel,

 

ID of flange (yellow) = 4 1/8" inches (dang close either way)

 

Edge to Edge of each hole (red) marked line criss-cross fashion measurement (both same distance) = 3 7/16" inches (dang close either way)

 

I hope that's what you were looking for.

The ID of the flange is the same for the cv/tripod axle flange.

 

The measurements seem to be off for the bolt holes. The measurement for the holes are 2.75" from inside edge to inside edge of the holes. Center to center they are 3 1/16". 

 

The only thing to know for sure is if you have a tripod axle to check to see if they fit.

 

Just curious if any of these parts would be able to work together to make a different axle set up.

Thanks man ! :)

... very slow ... but surely :ninja:

That's good to know.

 

Agreed..I'll see if I can figure out something on the fitment (scrounge around in my stuff).

It would seem to me someone could use the inners from the pickup and the rest from a zx with the maxi companion flanges and have a totally bolt in cv 

if the zx and truck shafts have the same spline anyway

Looks like you were spot on the first time Jay :cool:

Some parts delivered to me today. Still waiting on half-shaft rubber boots though !

I tried to take the pictures with part #'s on them in-case anyone wants to troll for some.

 

Wagner  --- (16 total) Front and rear lug studs. I had 1-break and 1- questionable. Since I have to pull the hubs to do these... might as well do them all !

 

Beck/Arnley --- 225mm throwout bearing.. I have a new 225mm clutch disc and this is just a maintance item (as we know).

 

Wagner --- (2) Clutch slave cylinder rebuilt kits.

 

Beck/Arnely ---- (4) Driveshaft u-joints. (GMB)

 

Beck/Arnley ---- (4) halfshaft u-joints. (GMB)

 

Precision --- (4) halfshaft u-joints. (Moog ... I "think" don't quote me on that...)

 

Airtex --- Distributor rotor.

 

KEM --- Distributor cap. (feels sturdy/durable !)

 

Pile of goodness

 

Resonator length = 18"

 

Resonator pipe width about... 2.25"

 

Resonator height = 4"

 

Inside of resonator

 

 

 

Also... got this 240mm clutch disc for a different z... lol  ( was going to get an Exedy kit for it , but gotta re-group and conserve where I can until able to :cool: )

 

 

Thanks for reading

Nice progress, man!!

 

Lovin all the pics...

[I'm BLUE]

Nice progress, man!!

 

Lovin all the pics...

 

Thanks Triple240z !

 

snails progress here.. :lol:

 

Good ! I wasn't sure if I posted too many of such simple items and procedures to annoy the @#$@ out of the readers ... lol

Kinda like the changing brake pads millions of pics... :rofl:

[I'm BLUE]

-----S30 4spd trans-----

 

I picked up locally from a trade.

Only need a few parts of it , but will save the rest.

I determined this one was a  good candidate for what I needed since = The drain-plug had a chunk of bearing on it..

 

Taking off the clutch fork and collar w/throwout bearing.

 

Grabbed a 12mm anything to break loose (8) bolts around the perimeter of the transmission.

(should use 3/8" drive or wrench to break loose).

If you don't have this many bolts (8).. you failed.

 

Wen't to the inside of the bell-housing to loosen these (5) retaining bolts.

 

Once all out there should be (5) bolts total ... remember (1) is longer than the rest.

 

Next time to pop off the cover. Stuck a Craftsman prybar (carefulley) against the clutch fork pivot point back end , and gently tapped with a dead-blow hammer.

 

 

Once somewhat loose... pull it off ( you can also very gently... tap around the perimeter to "finish" it off ).

 

opps... countershaft front bearing shim fell out (look at the bottom ... an important washer looking thing).

 

It's free.

 

 

(more pics coming).

[I'm BLUE]

Input shaft bearing = top

Countershaft fromt bearing = bottom

Countershaft front bearing shim = sitting at the bottom

Shift fork holes 1-2 , 3-4 , R = to the left

Keeping track of this.

 

Here's what the inside of the front cover looks like.

It utilize's the smaller 56mm front countershaft bearing ;)

 

Input shaft oil seal should be easy to replace

 

This is where the front countershaft bearing is suppose to sit..

 

I bagged + tagged and sarin wrapped everything then slid it all in a box to keep track of it ;)

 

Next ---- See the "blind" snap-ring on the Input Shaft bearing ? ( groove is towards the top left of the bearing pictured )

This sucker comes out next.

Closeup of the snap-ring groove.

Grabbed a pain of expander snap-ring pliers (when you grip the prongs go <--- out ---> ) :)

NOTE: I probably should have used the larger thicker ones designed for this , but couldn't get the pair I had to fit.

 

And here the snap-ring be

 

 

(more pics coming in a sec)

[I'm BLUE]

Next--- grabbed a block of wood. In this case a treated 4x4.

The input shaft will be rest on this for a short amount of time (carefully).

 

 

Grabbed a dead-blow hammer next.

 

Stood the transmission up vertically on the input shaft (carefully..)

 

Very gently tapped around the permiter in a criss-cross fashion... with the dead-blow hammer (could use wood , rubber mallets , etc ANYTHING that is soft... remember this is cast aluminum..... )

more of the same

 

Front case popped free. At this point decided to be even more careful.

More of the same ( yes ! I did in fact pull out and clean the drain-plug female/male ends ... it was bugging me ... works well now :cool: You should too :thumbup: )

Trans at this point carefully laid down on the 4x4 treated lumber

 

view from the top of trans.

 

You can see the front case pulling away at the bearing and shifter fork pockets..

 

 

 

 

(More pics to come)

Gears look GOOD !

 

 

 

 

 

 

The front case.

((( ---- 1995 KA24DE "C" series 240sx transmission ---- )))

 

obtained this a bit ago.

Has 126,000 miles on it.

 

Tipped it up on edge to be able to get at the front-case retaining bolts easier.(thick cardboard)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dowel pin alignment hole.

 

pulled off the clutch slave next

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[I'm BLUE]

Throwout bearing comes off next

 

 

Clutch fork comes off.

 

 

Loosening the 12mm retainer bolts

 

 

 

 

(5) total if done successfully.

 

Popped the cover loose (didn't have to use a dead-blow... just pulled with my hand gently..)

 

 

 

 

Pulled off front snap ring , bagged and tagged parts , and tapped bellhousing off gently just like earlier with my S30 4spd trans mentioned.

 

(more pics coming).

 

 

[I'm BLUE]

KA24DE gears look good !

 

 

 

(not crap on gears just lighting + oil)

Put it up on the work-table.

 

 

 

 

Set the s30 4spd in front next to it (closest in picture to you)

 

 

s30 4spd gears

 

 

 

Put some garbage bags around them to keep the crap out for now....

 

 

Til next time...

 

 

 

[Busta Nut]

This is sweet!!

 

What exactly are you doing??....swapping bell housings?....or does it go deeper than that?

Thanks ! Glad you like it Triple :thumbup:

Pretty much !

 

----------------- Plans ------------------------------

 

I'm robbing the bell-housing off the 4spd ...

.... Off to the machine shop it goes .......

having it machined out ... (measure everything before they do right ? ;) )

..... Bring it back to my place and fit it on the KA24DE transmission.

I'll then shorten down (or have shortened) one of my spare 72-73 240z drifeshafts aprox 2" (haven't decided how much freeplay I want exactly)

I also have the KA24DE trans mount and cross-member still attached , so I just may modify that to fit in mine :) . Time will tell though right ? haha.

 

Install the 4.11 or 4.38 diff ( or possibly a different one :sneaky: )

Install the rebuilt half-shafts (once my parts get here that is lol)

Look into a cheapo ISIS 240sx short-throw shifter as well , but we shall see.

 

I have other stuff going in , but am a bit "off" right now lol

[darrel]

Tip for pulling the front cover. Youtube video shows a guy taking out the pivot ball and threading in a longer bolt, the threads go through and pry's off the front cover Just enough to knock it loose. What is the thread pitch on the pivot ball? I would guess it"s the same as the head bolts.

[Busta Nut]

Love it, dude......especially all the pics.

 

I'm a visual and on hands learner.

 

I haven't taken apart a trans since trade school......and that was a muncie 4 speed.....fastest time in the class though.

 

I'd like to do a KA next.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.....look at me......mine's not even done and I'm thinkin' about the next......I'm an addict.

[I'm BLUE]

That certainly sounds like a better way to pull it darrel ^^^ :cool:

hmmmm not sure what thread pitch the pivot ball is honestly.. I'll have to check that.

Thanks man :cool:

 

Will def keep the pics coming in large lots then .. :lol:

 it's cool to hear back others that are much the same ! :thumbup: (takes the edge of the un-certainity factor a bit.. every bit helps)

 

mmmmmmmm Munice ...

 

You should do a KA trans man !!

 

:rofl: ... I think I might have seen you at the addiction ZAA meeting's every Thursday ... :ninja:
