Mondial T transmission noise (one more!)

Hello Ernie

I tried to use a tool for this kind of ring (but for the external ones..) and this hasn't worked, since mine is internal and I also think it has already been removed since the usable angle is reduced compared to the new I bought.

I wanted to avoid drilling in the gearbox but I don't see other solution as you are saying.. However it will be tough to drill a very small hole in this hard steel using a (very) long drill.

This is really a pitta to put something like that so deep in this location..

 

Hello

Using an extended drill (brazed tube on the drill) I was able to drill the ring and extract it using a standard ring plier...

What a time lost because of this but at least I can keep on.. I will put the ring back like that, at least the next time it has to be removed it will be straightforward..


I have been trying to engage two gears to block the transmission (like in this topic: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/another-348-gearbox-takeapart.236842/)




However I am not able to engage two gears at the same time. I am surprised I haven't read anything regarding the stoppers that prevent engaging two gears.
What do I have to do to be able two gears at the same time?

Thanks

 

Thanks Ernie!

Do you have a tips for my issue regarding engaging two gears at once?

 

Bump!

If somone knows how to be able to engage two gears to be able to torque these ring nuts!!
@ernie if you missed my previous post!

 

Another question here:

I have put back the two center needle bearings but I have been really surprised to be able to engage the clutch shaft needle bearing by hand... I have only put a very tiny amount of loctite 648 not very cleanly since I thought it would be tighter!!
Is this "loose" mounting normal for this bearing?
Are these nearings usually mounted with loctite?

Then I have tried to test putting a rag between the gears to block the gearbox but the gears are destroying the rag and still turning, I still don't know how to block this gearbox.

 

Hello

Thanks for your reply.

This what I thought of doing but since on the thread I have seen there it was looking like the gears could be engaged with the shaft I was hoping not having to undo the fork.

I have also a new question that arisen..

I put back the bearing and the gear on the clutch shaft but juste before putting it in the gearbox, I realized that the clearance between the gear and the bearing enveloppe was way different than just after removing the clutch shaft:

Before (almost no clearance between the bearing enveloppe and the gear):

After (gap of 2.5mm between the pinion and the bearing enveloppe):

I had a moment of fear and disassembled everything to check the gear was correctly mounted.

Most of the pictures I have seen there are showing almost no clearance but then I thought that maybe the bearing moved a little bit during the extraction from the gearbox and in fact there was no issue at all...
Could someone confirm me this?

Also, mondialdave have you used something special to put the clutch shaft back in the gearbox apart from heating the transmission and a hammer?

Thanks

 

Hello

In my case the noise I had was heard by the gearstick in the cabin.

After all of this I still have the same noise, linear with engine speed. I can hear the same noise in lots of cabin youtube videos of 348/Mondial T so I know think that is is a more or less normal noise related to the shift cable.

I don't have any whine from the gearbox itself and no particle when doing the gearbox drain so in my case it looks like I am fine.. but only noise from the gearstick from the cabin, no whining or chunk noise from the gearbox itself.
