[AMC-list] Down off the Jacks

[Joe Fulton <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well I finished the tranny swap today finally.   I have not had it out on the road yet but it moves in forward and reverse and there are no leaks.  Putting those c-clips on the rear u-joint with the driveshaft in the car is an art.  I think I could do it now about three times faster than this attempt.  I had the darndest time with the last c-clip because there just did not seem to be enough clearance in the groove to install the c-clip.  I took the cap back off after trying for a half hour and saw that one little needle bearing had slipped down in the cap, using up all the clearance.   A little work with an awl to reposition the bearings and it went together fine.  
 
I have to be gone all week but hope to take it for a long test drive in the neighbohood next Saturday.  It's licensed and insured now, but still has no muffler.  Sounds kinda neat at idle though.
