anyone know where i can find a cheap "mainshaft holder tool" online? so I can take apart a tranny? thanks

 

What exactly are you doing to the tranny?I took apart a couple, put a LSD in one and re assembled stock another without any specialty tools

 

bones taught me best
a leather glove and a rubber hammer

 

mainshaft holder tool only need for checking the mainshaft thrust washer..........

I've never needed it

 

How do I get that big *** nut off of the shaft then?

 

split tranny apart, pull the gearsets out, and use air gun with 30mm socket. MAKE SURE to use a leather glove to hold the gearshaft or else your hand gonna be cut up from the sharp gear teeth.........

 

all right i'lll give it a try. thanks bones

 

A couple shop towels work well too.

 

i just use a vice and some pieces of wood to hold the countershaft in place while I break the nut loose

one hit with a rubber mallet on the top, use the gears as slide hammers. leather glove + rubber hammer works pretty good too
