I shimed my t 84 transmission, zero movement 3rd & 2nd syncro blocking rings. There is minor stiff drag when turning the input shaft ny hand, but it ok to have preload. Gear selection is smooth & firm. Noticed no more gearbox noises cruising on flat road acceleration or foot off the accelerator. Previously gearbox was quite noisy/rattles was annoying.
Well, that went back very easily, it only needs one tight bolt in a hole to make the whole job a huge problem, especially when you are laying under the vehicle, but by trying the shaft into the pilot bushing you eliminated one of the main sources of trouble, I see your cat has given the job a final inspection !
Absolutely right, I was very lucky, the input shaft was even lined up with the splines on the clutch first time. I would highly recommend test fitting the input shaft into the pilot bushing to make sure they mate easily, I can only imagine the 'fun' you could have trying to get the thing in and eventually realising the pilot bushing isn't reamed enough. My pilot bushing which was lose when test fitting it on the bench tightened up a hell of a lot once fitted into the flywheel. Again another vote for making sure everything is done correctly!
Hey great series of videos however I would have liked to see exactly where the shims go on the main shaft. Because the French used the shims perhaps the original French M201 manual described the clearance needed for the blocking rings, just sayin’. I’m about to rebuild a T84 for a friend and the whole thing is trash. I’d swear the previous owner never even attempted to slow down or stop to go from 1st to reverse. I’ve got 3 under my belt already and all turned out good. These videos will help me refine my rebuilds even more. When I pick up my parts I’ll be sure to bring my vernier and the list of fits and tolerances as well as the old parts.
Thank you very much for taking the time and explaining every we might come across, I.'m planning to do mine this coming winter. I contacted the firm in Italy (sorry forgot the name of them as you kindly told me in another post) and they were very helpful but quite allot is currently out of stock. Did you get everything you need from them ? what approx did all of your items plus postage cost you?
Hi, thanks for these transmission rebuild videos which are great. Did you make one which goes through the step by step re-assembly from the empty case? I’ve never worked on gearboxes before and a video like that would be really useful. If you haven’t done one, do you know of anybody else who’s done one? Thanks, Greg
what is a good way to push on the rear bearing? I was thinking about pushing mine on as far as I could by hand and use my old bearing then mate up the trans/transfer case together with some longer bolts.
Apparently the best way is to cut down an old transfer case and use that but I am thinking of welding up a mount next time I do one to save the hassle, remember you can't set one up properly without bolting that bearing down!
@@Greendot319 I use an old bearing that I honed out to set up. Saw that on a video. Not a bad idea. I happen to have an old case now that I could use. Thanks for the advice. I've looked all over on how to do it and have had no luck. The old case is pretty light with no guts in it. I don't think I'll be cutting it up.
@@duckhunt1058 remember there can be a difference between an old bearing and a new one, perhaps not enough to make a difference when setting up a transmission but definitely when setting up a differential etc so just be careful with that! An empty case will work well to hold the bearing in, just not as easy as a cutdown one, I haven't found one bad enough to cut up either, good luck!
@@Greendot319 I set mine up and put it all together and it shifted pretty good. Used rachet straps to hold it down and that worked really good. Didn't move around and allowed me to shift all the gears. Only issue that I have in using a new bearing is having to take it off if I have to do anything. Something I would not want to do.

Your “attention “ to detail is great to see!!
Thank you! Cheers!

Hi shifter plate spring under or over on the t84 gearbox all the best colin

Hi Dave, did you have the address for the guys in the Netherlands? I'll work out the total cost and post it up her for you, cheers
Greendot 319 Hi yes I have the address thanks
Hi Dave, just found out that Dallas Autoparts have TAS parts for sale in the UK too!

You never mentioned the front oil seal?!? Did you use cork or felt? What was your protocol?
Original Cork, works no problem, cheers

@@Greendot319 My differentials are done and were done at reputable shop near me. It cost a bit but I don't have to worry about them.
Should of should how you got the fork in
My friends 42 Ford I have a hard time getting it into 1st
