Jesse J Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 1 minute ago, AZJeff said: The Torx bit was developed by The Camcar division of Textron. It’s design is similar to that of a gear tooth (technically it’s an “involute spline”) and it spreads the fastener driving force over a larger area. The MAIN advantage is that the tools used to drive Torx fasteners last MUCH longer in a production line environment. So now you know....😉 huh cool. seems weird to me it's only the top 2 bolts if it's so great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the use on fenders, door hinges/strikers, etc. is obviously driven by those production line factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james-mc Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Well turns put old transmission has a problem in the gearbox. I'm not sure what. The vent hose was completely gone and there were bits of gravel (and an oil covered penny) by the shifter housing. Could be possible a rock or something could have worked its way into the gear box. I will check into that later. On the "new" ba/10 I went through all the gears and they seem fine. I'm going to finish the install tomorrow morning. I have a new clutch kit to put on while I'm down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87MJTIM Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 sounds like someone did some "deep water" driving with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifter even seems more responsive than the sloppy ba10 i pulled out. Thanks again man. Now I just gotta wait for my new harmonic balancer to come in. The rubber is coming out and I'm pretty sure the pulley is scratching the timing cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james-mc Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Now I just have to change valve cover gasket, harmonic balancer, oil pressure switch (hopefully its not the guage lol), blower motor, oil and filter change, and then minor cosmetic stuff. Hopefully another $200 or so she will be road ready lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
