Re: [Amc-list] T-96 transmission assembled

So you figured out the rubber band trick! An alternate is to coat the hub with vaseline and stick the rollers in. Thick enough to stick them there, but easily dissolves with a little heat, and no problem with it in the gear lube. 

You don't have to stick the solenoid in. When energized the solenoid pushes in on the "dog" that engages OD. Push in the hole with a philips screwdriver -- same as the solenoid doing it. You already know the solenoid and wiring is good, it worked before you took the trans out.

The trans was quite straightforward; it's easily tested and
checked after assembly. THe OD is harder to bench check, but
I think I will energize the solenoid to check BEFORE! it goes
in. PITA otherwise!

The slip rollers in the OD require a rubber band to hold
the rollers in when the drum goes over them; the rubber band
stays in the transmission!  I didn't have one... so I cut the
non-business-end of a condom off and used that...
