Got the call I got a call from Mitchell yesterday letting me know my overdrive is finished and shipping. I am looking forward to getting it in soon. My first question is, Will it be Ok to leave my rear tires on and remove the rear end with spring attached? I have never removed a banjo so this will be a first. I have a two post lift. I take it both halves of clamshell need to come off? Any pointers?

Re: Got the call Have removed and installed tranny's using only bumper jacks and jack stands (to lift and hold body) just high enough to roll the whole rear assy. on wheels far enough back to give access to tranny removal.
Of course all attachments to tranny have to be disconnected. |

Tommy, When I pulled the rear from my '40 Conv. a few years ago...I made two round wooden wheels out of OSB. It gave more clearance to slide the rear out without scratching anything. Good luck, Pat

Re: Got the call You need Jack stands and a floor jack to remove the rear end. That how I do it. Just slide the rear end back enough to remove the driveshaft.

Ken, I should have stated that I removed the rear from my/your '40 Conv. while it was on my 4-post lift. Fun! |
Re: Got the call Get help, from some one that'd done it before. Good luck

Re: Got the call Yes you can leave the tires on, just get it high enough to roll it out. Then remove the torque tube and drive shaft and replace with the Mitchell. You will love it.

Re: Got the call Just a word of Caution. Be sure that when you remove the Heavy read end assembly thatb= you have enough support for the front rest of the car as on a 2 post lift it could fall down in front with a plan or support for what will be the HEAVY front end of car! Just a word of caution... Good luck. kx

Re: Got the call Thanks Kerk.. I will be sure to lift the car with the rear heavy and keep an eye on it. I am excited to get this done. Up to this point I have not been comfortable taking my car over 20-30 miles from home just because I can`t maintain highway speeds without worry of hurting it due to RPMs.
I appreciate all the helpful comments... I have no help so it is going to be just me. |
