62 three speed tranny question
 

My son's 62 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup has a 3 speed tranny that could use a new bushing for the tailstock output shaft. It's pretty sloppy, and has some vibration going down the road. I had the tranny apart last year to swap out a gear, but couldn't find a bushing at that time. Any suggestions on where I can find this bushing?

You might try these people: ManTrans I don't know if they go that far back or not, but they might. I've dealt with them before, real nice people to me. Best of luck.

Nut, Thanks for the lead. I just emailed them, and we'll
see what happens!

Tom, are you sure it should have a bushing. The tranny in my '64 is an older year tranny a PO installed. A few years ago, i replaced the needle barrings in it. Purchased a rebuild kit from a place in OKla City called Bloomington, or Bloomingberg,,,something like that. Huge place just south of I-40 downtown. Anyway, according to them, mine don't have a tailshaft bushing.

Could be your drive line is out of balance? My two cents worth... rico_bob

It's possible, but think that the bushing is worn. I suppose there's a book somewhere with some specs for tolerences... will have to investigate more someday. Thanks.
