To Rebuild & Modify Your Manual Transmission - Description
The prospect of rebuilding or modifying a transmission strikes fear in the heart of many a home mechanic. But in reality, the process is similar to rebuilding anything mechanical—with patience and the right tools, it can be a straightforward, rewarding job. And the money saved by doing the work yourself can be substantial.
How To Rebuild and Modify Your Manual Transmission includes detailed, step-by-step rebuilds of a TREMEC/BorgWarner T-5 for a rear drive car, and a Honda B-Series front-wheel-drive transaxle. Along the way, author Robert Bowen clearly explains the principles of transmission function and repair that apply to any car with a manual transmission.
Armed with the knowledge in this book, you will understand what you need to know and do to troubleshoot and rebuild your own transmission. You will learn to disassemble and reassemble your tranny, determine what parts to replace, how and why to replace certain seals, bearings, spacers, forks, and other parts, and where to find the specifications for your particular transmission. Additional chapters on modifications and on clutches and flywheels will help you make the most of your car's entire drivetrain.
