I use to write frequently in this community, the thing is I just found some other cool stuff to share in other community's. It's not that I don't have anything to share for this community! Believe me I have a lot to share, more than I have for any other community! But if I have to be honest since it's my job it does get somewhat tiring to come home and do some more typing around topics that involves mechanics. But I went through my possible posting contents and I found one that I would like to share now! Lets get to it! Oh by the way I hope every one is still doing great!! Feel free to comment below if there is anything in particular that you might want me to do a run through on. When I get a similar job I will without a doubt give you a tagging in the post! A while back I wrote a post about a _Isuzu_ that was repaired at the dealers and how they just couldn't find exactly pin point the actual problem. Check that post out [here](https://peakd.com/hive-102066/@technicalside/i-passed-my-trade-test-). Sheeessh I cant believe that was almost a month ago! Time flies as we draw closer to December and the holiday seasons! ------------------------------------------------------------------- https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmfDaSmTz3y8oavngRrr5mmVhrTXheYoEU4qhGUS7pq3xh/Hive.Divider.png # <center>What We Actually Repaired</center> Well a week or so ago I fitted the gearbox after we did the necessary repairs that was needed. Along with that we fitted a new clutch. The only repairs we did inside the _gearbox_ was replacing the input shaft which contains the _fourth gear._ But the _fourth gear_ is actually the _power input_ to the _gearbox_ so it messed with all of the _gears._ The clutch it had in the vehicle was a new clutch that was recently fitted, however because of the gearbox problems the vehicle didn't drive as intended and there fore you had to sort of play on the clutch to actually get the vehicle moving and this caused the clutch to burn over time. I am glad that they authorized us to actually do the clutch, usually they ask us why do we want to do more than intended. > In the image below you can see the old clutch on the left and the brand new one on the right. Needless to say I'm sure everyone can see the big difference between them.  > A closer up view of the new clutch. I always say this, I know I might be a little repetitive at times but sheesh a new clutch people. I find it very very attractive.  > The old and burnt clutch, so without a doubt you can't make this work there is just no way possible. Perhaps if the pressure plate was still in a good condition one might only need to replace the clutch disk itself, but as you can see that the pressure plate is full of those black spots. **_(Pressure plate on the right, clutch disk to the left.)_** However this is a total trash and needs to be thrown away.  ------------------------------------------------------ https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmfDaSmTz3y8oavngRrr5mmVhrTXheYoEU4qhGUS7pq3xh/Hive.Divider.png # <center>Fitting The Flywheel And Clutch</center> As usual when doing a _clutch overall_ we tend to skim the _flywheel_ as well. Otherwise it might lead to premature failure of the _clutch._ A lot of folks out there only sands it down with sanding paper. 😅😂 And let me tell you that is not the way to go. Do the effort and send it to the folks who have the right equipment as well as the right knowledge. In doing so you might just save yourself some time and effort, perhaps a buck in the future! > Nice and clean skimmed _flywheel._ We always make sure that the _flywheel_ is skimmed according to specs even if we took it to professionals to do. We have a book with all of the specs, be damned if I knew where we got it. Notice the **_18mm_** written in green on the _flywheel_ I know it's barely visible. That means that the recess of the inside should drop down **_18mm_** from the side which is higher than the platform.  > Usually when you buy a new clutch you would get a **_clutch alignment tool_** with, that it the black and yellow object stuck in the middle of it. In my opinion we've gotten one at least 60% of the time, so knowing how to align the clutch with bare vision is a must in this trade!  > The tool generally also helps to hold the _clutch plate_ in place while you cover it with the _pressure plate_ more than often people drop it and you end up with a bent _clutch plate_. This will take you back to square one to start with. I always make sure that my _pressure plate_ is bolted down perfectly before removing the _alignment tool_  #### <center>Ahhh the satisfaction!!</center> > It almost looks like the _Eye of Mordor!_ If you look closely you will fall into a time loop. Perhaps never get out of it! Laughs jokes aside it does look pretty neat! Perhaps it's the beautiful grey silver between all the dirty brownness. Also I like to triple check if my _clutch_ is aligned.  https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmfDaSmTz3y8oavngRrr5mmVhrTXheYoEU4qhGUS7pq3xh/Hive.Divider.png ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # <center>Preparing The Gearbox For Fitment</center> So, I have a question! Have anyone in this group #Hivemotors ever forgotten to put a _release bearing_ on before fitting the _gearbox_ or perhaps forgotten to install the _clutch?_ Well if so fear not for I think a lot of people have! Just the other day I forgot to install the _clutch fork_ I even had the _gearbox_ fitted. My old man came and stood next to me, as he said jokingly. **_"Is this one of those new wireless clutch systems?"_** I looked a little bit baffled and more or less stared at where the clutch sits in the bellhousing. Even then I asked. **_"Well what do you mean grandpa"_** He laughed and said look here, as he pointed to where the _clutch fork_ was suppose to be! Luckily for me I only had two bolts down and removal was quick and easy. But boy did I laugh at myself! Imagine finishing up the whole job just to realize your mistake! > #### The new _release bearing_ not always needed but 95% of the time we tend to replace it!  > #### This one is now ready and prepped to go back home, so to speak.  ----------------------------------------------------------------------- https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmfDaSmTz3y8oavngRrr5mmVhrTXheYoEU4qhGUS7pq3xh/Hive.Divider.png # <center>Got Errr In Quick And Easy</center> I've not been working with _gearboxes_ for very long but I can feel the more I work with them the better I understand them, also the faster and more effective I become. Okay given I do have some proper tools at my disposal and this tends to make everything a lot easier. For example the _gearbox jack_ makes the heavy lifting, well less heavy. Also the fact that I don't have to work on my back on the ground makes me do the job a lot faster. You know being on your feet the whole time. > Well I'll be honest I pulled the _gearbox_ back a little bit to get a photo for reference. But it just popped right in, it's a fairly easy _gearbox_ to fit. This is on a _Isuzu 2.5 diesel pickup._ However it is a _4X4_ but it had so much working space compared to the _Toyota's_ and even the _Ford's_  > This specific _gearbox_ doesn't have much to re-fit at and around the _bellhousing._ While bolting down the _bellhousing_ you can't really miss the _starter_ because it bolts down with everything. So all I added was the _slave cylinder_ that presses the _clutch_. This means I am all done in-front except for the _prop-shaft_ that enables the _4X4_ on the vehicle but that we shall leave for last.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmfDaSmTz3y8oavngRrr5mmVhrTXheYoEU4qhGUS7pq3xh/Hive.Divider.png # <center>The Gear Lever Was The Tricky Part</center> Okay so my **_"old man"_** sort of warned me over here, but our young one never listen eyyyy! He told me before hand, before I even had the _gearbox_ on the jack that I should remove that little white plastic box at the bottom of the _gear lever housing_ so that I can visually inspect and properly fit the end of the _gear lever_ into the _selector shaft._ Needles to say I told him otherwise and that I would be able to guess where it was and just enter it. _Laughs Laughs_ I should really start listening to **_"the old and the grey"_**, and I say this with a lot of **_respect_**. More so I should start listening to my **_"old man"_**  > As you can see that I ended up having to open the white box, with a bit of a struggle now and I was only able to open it a tiny bit. Yes it ended up being a struggle but I was sitting on my ears and being naive so I got my spanking!  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmfDaSmTz3y8oavngRrr5mmVhrTXheYoEU4qhGUS7pq3xh/Hive.Divider.png # <center>The Next Phase, The Transfer Case</center> Hmmm why is this _transfer case_ so clean you ask! After all we didn't work on it, did we? Now that's a good question eyyy, well let me tell you! No we didn't not even a bit! Did we wash it? Again Nope! If I may again refer back to one of my previous [posts](https://peakd.com/hive-102066/@technicalside/i-passed-my-trade-test-) I shared as to why and how this vehicle ended up at our workshop! It had a _differential_ rebuild and then when that didn't fix the problem they somehow got the idea the problem was with the _transfer case._ Laughs what a big mess!  > Well let's get that fitted where it belongs, also worth mentioning I love working on new vehicles or should I rather say well maintained vehicles. It's nice and clean no grimey grimes on the hands, all the bolts turn easily. Basically everything is just A grade fun. > On a different note that stud somehow made the job a little bit worse but also a little bit easier, I don't know it's hard to explain.  > #### Right where she want to be! Everything is going smoothly and I am almost done with everything, just a few more stuff to fit.  > I always like to do some cable management. Why? Well sometimes the cable's tend to rattle and eventually cut through the wiring protection, this might cause sensors to fail and shorts to occur against the body of the vehicle. More than often a quick and easy fix, it's more of an annoyance I would rather avoid.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmfDaSmTz3y8oavngRrr5mmVhrTXheYoEU4qhGUS7pq3xh/Hive.Divider.png # <center>Almost Last But Not Yet Least</center> Okay I've got questions for the person who removed this _gearbox_, or perhaps I should just keep them to myself! What do you guys think? So the _cross member_ to the far right as well as the two support mountings at the top I do understand, they need removal in order to remove the _gearbox._ But the _belly plates_ that are removed is above and beyond my understanding. 😂 They didn't need removal at all. Perhaps he thought it was an _automatic gearbox_ which we needed to turn the _crankshaft._ However I will refrain from asking questions and silently go on with my work!  > #### Nice and tidy back in their respective places! Lets not to this again! MMMKAAAY.  ## <center>After fitting the rear and front _prop-shafts_ I was now able to add them fabulous _Liquid Gold_ to the _gearbox_ and call this job done and dusted with.</center>  # <center>Looking freshhhh and ready to clutch on!</center>   https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmfDaSmTz3y8oavngRrr5mmVhrTXheYoEU4qhGUS7pq3xh/Hive.Divider.png #### <center>Only meant to serve as a cover photo</center>  https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmfDaSmTz3y8oavngRrr5mmVhrTXheYoEU4qhGUS7pq3xh/Hive.Divider.png **_To everyone who made it this far into my post Thank you for the read and the support._** **_If you found this entertaining or educational please consider a re-blog and up-vote._** **_Most of all please leave a input in the comments below, whether is good or bad critic I would like to know, whether its your opinion or your way of doing things in a different manner I would like._** https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmfDaSmTz3y8oavngRrr5mmVhrTXheYoEU4qhGUS7pq3xh/Hive.Divider.png <center></center> https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZMTckzqpfBShZSELLFNotjm43vJfjg79Ynz4ndB3i86a/PHC-Footer-05.gif https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQYfbMsshDLVTRwEp3rCMoeUwLfcMx5rwG924fx5yYFKo/technicalside.gif <sub>***Connecting the people of #HIVE across South Africa. #hive***</sub> <center>
