What a challenge taking out the clutch springs! I had hard time finding somebody to make the tools for me. The size of the rings is not standard and it is hard to make it custom. I ended up using PVC pipes although I will have to figure out how to put back the big snap ring. I couldn't find 6" PVC pipe.
So, today I planned to finish up the transmission when I ran into a few issues. It looks like the overhaul kit I got has, for some reason, a few wrong O-rings.
For example:
- from the group 2 is missing 10.014 but there are a few other smaller O-rings
- from group 9 is missing 73.013/152 and 73/013/154 and the same, there are a few other smaller O-rings.
I wrote and email to CTSC where I bought the kit from and waiting for the reply. Should I wait to get these parts or should I go ahead and reuse the old O-rings? Any idea how is the failure rate of these O-rings? How critical is to replace these?
