    I can’t say I have ever seen a main shaft nut come off like that in the years I was building transaxles. Weird.

    Since you’re going to be in it, might be worth getting rid of that brass shift fork for 1/2 and getting a steel one.

    The shift plates showed a little wear, but the cause of the problem was the gear stack getting loose (from the nut that fell off). I peened the nut in place, and used a little loctite. We had some better shift plates that I swapped out, and new synchros while this far apart.

    Woo wee. That was a lot of grinding. I am like a sissy when it comes to grinding metal. I need goggles I hate getting shit in my eyes especially metal😬 I did pretty good I think I got all the metal out of my Ballz. Thanks for the help kcw. Hopefully a bad ass upgrade for the TRIP to BBB.

    Dan G’s 66 beetle here for some love. We found the number 1 cylinder at 78% indicating a bad exhaust valve. Pat removed the engine and disassembled to a short block for inspection. It had dished pistons, worn exhaust valve seat, and bad lifter/cam contact surface. I suggested a rebuild at Painter’s Grinding.  Dan approved.

    I think this engine is one of those late 90’s all new long-blocks you could get from VW by the lack of numbers and Audi emblems on everything.

    All of the lifters had a similar surface and I could feel the texture with a pick.

    You’re good to go Ragdaddy. It was a simple corroded spade terminal on the starter.

    I cut/crimped a new end on the wire and the starter switch functions perfectly.

    ^^^ Easy peasy…drivers are the best!!!

     

    Worked on Eric’s ‘65 sunroof today. Goal was to knock out most of the interior insulation, carpet, floors mats, etc.

    Started cleaning/prepping and found a bit of rust that needed attention first. Pass side heater channel repairs engulfed most of the day. 363C07FA-2D36-4A9F-8E33-F3446D301595FF8A37E7-76F9-4383-8A60-975801A5E1BC

    Required an inner section of heater channel. 85D5EC0B-4D25-41FE-8F19-32DC6C082454

    Outer section also. 1112C368-20C5-404B-A957-253DC2687606

    And a chunk of fender well. F161513E-1A57-410A-A2F2-3F8F0E3C90C6

    Knocked out some interior install work as well. GOOD DAY!!!99EDC409-46EB-47AD-B105-7F05DB4273EDE884747E-9E1F-42E2-8497-55AA6890A9B86C62D0AA-5EE7-4EAA-A37B-D48C36EF2C6D70EB3F33-6ACE-4342-9B62-9F7069091E8BF517DD08-3B88-48D3-95BF-B926D61B5C0C

    Antonio’s bus from Durango here for some electrical and loose ends.

    6DFE5787-767D-4711-B3EB-4A1C7359042D7A16092C-B000-44FA-B005-82726682242FDBA15F69-18B8-41DB-8E6E-9A0D9CB47FF8

    The steering box was hard to turn because the adjuster was turned in too far and locked down extra tight. I couldn’t break the adjuster loose because the steel insert in the housing was spinning.
