Transmission Rebuild Information

Today I just was reading about the shifter box and saw something about removing the tin cup where the forced oil flows around. So I removed the brass fitting and used a punch to knock out the cup. It came out as if it had been out before. To my surprise it was clean and void of any oils or dirt. Maybe 37 years ago I did bead blast this at work and may have known to remove it and clean it out. I just do not recall doing this needed step.
Can you answer a question about the cross shift vacuum plunger. Is the shaft supposed to have seals on it or is this just a momentary vacuum signal that stops after it causes the shifter arm to travel thru the "H" pattern. Thanks and looking forwards to talking with you. Gary

I run the web store and am the one who ships all of the orders. All Cord transmission manuals shipped in the past 3 or so years included the addendum sheet which was compiled by Jim O'Brien. I have a pdf of this sheet that I am happy to send to anyone else who needs it. Just send me a private message or email at jkerns25 "at" gmail.com
Thanks,
Justin

If you give me an email address thru the pm we have here I will send you the addendum. Gary I would not put your email address on any open forum. Way to many scammers looking for real email address's to send you stuff or take away stuff from you. Gary

Have fun reading the book. Please note there are a couple of minor mistakes in the book.
The shims on the lower shaft are to set the insertion depth on the ring and pinion. The shims have to be between the retaining ring on the bearing and the transmission case. You also have to have the grease pump bolted in place to check the insertion depth since this is what holds the bearing and the pinion in place.
Tom is also correct - you need to increase the size of the third gear thrust washer. The original was 3/16" thick. this was too thin to carry the load. you need to increase this to 5/16" or 3/8" (I go with 5/16" usually) you can get the new thrust washers from Lee Foldenauer. Note the new thrust washers have to be properly heat treated to work correctly.
When you get ready ask more questions. These transmissions are a bit tricky and must be set up correctly for the shifting to work properly.

The club has published a Transmission book that covers what you need. You can buy this through the club's online store:
www.shop.phpstack-1081784-3880776.cloudwaysapps.com/product.sc ? ... egoryId=10
The single item that stands out in my mind from it (it's been decades since I read it) is to use a Heavy Duty thrust washer in lieu of the factory's too-light duty one.
But get the book--it's inexpensive and it knows a lot more than I remember!
