    Tips or Tricks to get a gear off a shaft

    Nice, those were the best years. The original modern Mustang. Coyote in the silver car but built bottom end, reworked and ported heads, bigger fuel system, etc…. It is crazy that bone stock they’re happy as can be with 800 hp. The weak link is really just the pistons. The 66 currently has a...

    Tips or Tricks to get a gear off a shaft

    The shaft on the right is the one I’m working with. The top two gears, top is 5th, next one down is 6th. The two gears below those are the two I’m replacing due to being destroyed (3rd and 4th). Well, now I’ve ordered a new 5th due to breaking teeth at the 12 ton mark in a 100 ton press. The...

    Tips or Tricks to get a gear off a shaft

    Yessir! I get everything from a custom gear manufacturer, made to hold more power. If I can figure out how to add pictures or a video, I’ll post those up here in a bit.

    Tips or Tricks to get a gear off a shaft

    Believe it or not, they do sell each part individually - the shafts, each gear, the synchronizers, even the c clips and gaskets.

    Tips or Tricks to get a gear off a shaft

    Blowing it up is on the list - down toward the bottom, but the list is growing shorter. Thanks for the tip on keeping the torch set upright. I had heard that years ago from either my brother or my nephew (both used to use them regularly) but they didn’t explain why - just remember them telling...

    Tips or Tricks to get a gear off a shaft

    I’ll be picking up an OA torch kit Monday and getting it filled - unless I can find one used nearby for sale. I’ve been using one of the plumbers propane torches so far. I didn’t realize just how critical it was to heat it fast - but now I know! My plan keeps changing, but now I plan on...

    It’s an MT82 6 speed manual that’s used in newer model Mustangs (up until 2018 when they made some changes and named it the MT82-D4) This one is modified with heavier duty, treated internals, and other upgrades for power handling.

    Tips or Tricks to get a gear off a shaft

    Great info - thank you! That makes sense about expanding back into the hole. I’ll do just as you said. I’m going to wait until next week for some additional steel plates just so I can get the very best, and most even support beneath the gear.

    Tips or Tricks to get a gear off a shaft

    This is a Ford transmission. There’s three shafts - the input shaft, the output shaft and the countershaft. The input and output shafts are complete units with their respective gears made as one with the shaft. You replace them completely if any of those gears are hosed. But this is the...

    Tips or Tricks to get a gear off a shaft

    This is very helpful, thank you! I’m going to freeze the entire assembly then put it under about 10 tons of pressure while heating the heat as fast as possible with an oxy torch. If this doesn’t pop it loose, I’m going with a replacement shaft and gear set. But I won’t stop on this...
