Project Log: Ressurecting FrankenBird

[black heartbeat]

As far as removing the ds how about a slidehammer?.....with a 60 lb weight lol

[ls6monte]

A little bit of C4 might do the same thing! Boomer probably has some! lol

[Formula413]

Ok maybe a dumb idea but is there any chance enough heat might free it up? I know it's not a case of rust but maybe the metal would expand enough? The slide hammer isn't a bad idea either if it can attach to the end of the driveshaft.

If the drive-shaft is locked like that, it probably twisted the splines on the output shaft (which will need to be replaced anyways)

Is that a t-56 (im assuming it is)?

You should be able to disassemble the trans starting from the front, and I believe that trans uses a two piece shaft (slide the output shaft and d/s out the rear of the case after pulling off the rear housing)

Take a look at this parts breakdown to get an idea of what I am talking about. Sounds like a lot of work, but my guess is that unit is going to need a tear-down anyways to repair the output shaft.

[My84Z]

It's already apart.

[bfurches]

perfect.

out of curiosity is that how you removed the ds or did you guys use another method?

[My84Z]

I believe heat was used and yes he twisted the splines crazy mofo!

[bfurches]

I figured that much haha

Awesome that you guys are wasting no time getting it back together.

Best of luck.

[My84Z]

I'm not doing anything lol

[bfurches]
