Re: Restoring Rusty - Muncie SM465 Gasket Set
then after 3 long days the Muncie SM465 Fel-Pro Gasket Set arrived
that's right my Township Autozone had to special order these gaskets, what special order for a dime a dozen Cheby 350? so I go to pick 'em up today, and the box is torn in half (as shown) I say to the young lady I hope everything's in there, she assures me it is [aha] well sure as heck the constructions (as my three year old would call his Lego's instructions) be missin', one of the reasons I get Fel-Pro gaskets is for their 3x5 card instructions, and here they are missing also see how they packaged that large gasket, why would they do that, why not get a bigger box? [they need to hire Summit shipping guys] |

so I took a deep breath and removed the cover and tried again with no gasket this time and she shifted and turned in all gears so I did a third take (with gasket this time fer good) and got her in - the key is lining up those three large slider bars in the lid like in the pic below, see how the one is longer than the other two, it is not all the way out, nor is it in neutral it is in between, the other two sisters are just snapped in to neutral (very technical explanation I know) and here's a top tip, after you get the lid back on, the transmission is still stuck half way in Reverse so you may not be able to get her to shift I took a large screw driver and snapped her all the way in Neutral or reverse I forget which and then I could stick the shifter back in and shift Last edited by Gregski; 02-25-2015 at 03:09 AM. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
I am fixin on re assemblin' the bell housing and the clutch fork and throwout bearing, question is will I be using the Lubriplate lithium grease on the metal ball joint that the metal clutch fork pivots on inside the bellhousing, or is there some other grease I should consider?

Re: Restoring Rusty
I've always used a dab of heavy axle grease.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Use the white lithium grease. Axle grease is for load-bearing situations such as axle bearings and U-joints and the swivel plates underneath the tires on an alignment rack. It holds up under those loads better than white lithium grease, BUT it has a higher drag to motion than white lithium grease for low-load applications. That is, it is less slippery for low-load applications. Anything other than axle bearings and U-joints on a vehicle, you are better off with white lithium grease.
For high-load applications, TRC 880 Crown & Chassis Grease is number 1. (IMO, OC!)

Re: Restoring Rusty
and then it was time to paint the transission
Finally, thought this day would never come (I know you and me both) Wait you gonna paint it white? No, that paint needs a mixin' though it does look old like it's left over from when they painted the Titanic. There, that's better... G R A Y |

Re: Restoring Rusty
wait what? You painted it WHITE?
wait a minute, that's not the color I wanted? It was supposed to be gray, I was picturing cast iron. I know POR15 has a SILVER, but I purposely bought GRAY. LOL |

Re: Restoring Rusty - Eastwood Metal Blackening Solution
and what do we have here?
seriously, that's all that was in the box? Yup, Eastwood's Metal Blackening Solution $14 bucks plus another $5 for shipping, not bad now back in the day, Eastwood had a two part Metal Blackening kit, it came with: 1. Blackening Solution 2. Sealant you would dip the metal in the first plastic container than dip it in the second, job done! then they realized they can make a whole lot more money by adding a bunch of stuff to the kit nobody needed, like safety goggles, rubber gloves, some crappy cleaning product, and by the way they replaced the sealant with clear lacquer in a rattle can fine but does it work? well in its full strength (hey I paid for it I will mix it or not mix it how I please, JK) in its full strength this is what it did in 1 minute of soaking it turned a silver part darker silver, LOL, question is will this prevent rusting, and by the way I did spray it with my own clear in a rattle can |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Hey Greg, that transmission looks a lot better painted, and now it won't become a rusty mess. On my 465, I used POR-15 black, which turned out fine. However, I subsequently bought their cast iron grey paint, and I've used that a few times with good results. Basically looks like the part is unpainted, except that it is.

Re: Restoring Rusty
is it the 15 oz spray can stuff? What they call Detail Paint? I didn't go for that cause I wanted their rust treatment product, but now I might.
