I've just rebuilt one of my SM420s and bolted it up to my ToyBox. The top shifter cover for this trannie is a bit rusty. The top cover for my other (older) SM420 looks better except the shift forks are a bit more worn and the interlock plate is plastic. I would like to take the rusty cover apart and clean it up, but I don't know how to get the tapered pins out of the 3rd/4th gear shifter fork, 1st/2nd gear shifter fork or the rev shifter head. Anyone done this before?

Here are a couple pics of the older cover!

Sean,


Bolt it up and drive it. DAMN you are an anal fawker! Are you EVERY going to finish :flipoff2:

Pop the cover and soak it in ATF for a couple of days and all that crap will be gone!

Yea, hope to have the tub on in a week or so!!:flipoff2: Maybe make CM02, or Marlin Crawler Roundup/Rubithon, or maybe BHCC!! Maybe I'll even head down to Tejas this spring and wheel with some rednecks I know down there!!:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

Was hoping to join you guys in 2 wks in Las Cruces (to ride shotgun with someone), but need to adminster some TLC to my TLC!!

Stoopid Q, what is ATF?:flipoff2:

Automatic Trans Fluid.....that shit will take off ANYTHING!

Use that or Whaltey Fluid which is equal parts diesel, mineral spirits, acetone, and ATF.

For you Navy guys, that's 1:1:1:1

mine loked 10x worse than that. knock off some of the chunks and run it.


change the oil after a few runs and it will be fine.


you can't hurt a sm420 with lose little pieces of gunk.

Yea, I'm not really worried about any of the gunk. I just like the shift forks on the other cover better and want to use that one, but its so rusted up!!

Thx

Remember that there is a switch in top covers for the SM420. I have never been able to find out when the shift actually was. if you get a tops mized up you will always have problems with Sticking in third gear..

Put it on and run the fawker..

Yea, I've heard that, but I can't tell the diff looking at them, they look identical, except for the plastic interlock on the older cover!!
