oleskool Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 So my little truck decided to try and leave me on the side of the road today. It’s an AX15 internal slave. The slave started leaking. Luckily I can gear jam and got it home. I'm no stranger to clutch installs but I typically separate the t case from the trans. What’s the preferred method for dropping the t case and trans. All in one or one at a time? Any tips and tricks are gladly appreciated.
gogmorgo Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 If you’ve got a trans jack, dropping them together is IMO the way to go. If not, it’s a lot of off-kilter weight to bench press back into place.
OldManComanche Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Get a "good" replacement slave cylinder. If you don't, you will become "good" at dropping the trans again. Don't ask how I know this! Transmission jack and a concrete floor will make your life easier too!
87MJTIM Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 I drop them together, but install them separately. Trying to slide into the pilot bushing with full length of both was just difficult. I have a Horror Fright trans jack in my driver way.
oleskool Posted February 13, 2022 Author Posted February 13, 2022 Thanks for the input. I fully plan to go external slave but I’m in the middle of a move and need to get this thing back up and running quickly. Everything else I own has a Dana 300 or an Atlas so I separate them before dropping.
