Dad, my uncle, and I spent most of the day splitting my 1957 841 to replace the clutch. I've got lots of pictures, and there's a story behind it--I'll post another thread for that if you all are interested. However, I have several questions that I'll ask here:
1) We found that the clutch isn't worn out, it's just oil-soaked.
Is there any way to "dry out" and/or recondition this clutch to use?
The following questions are about the Sherman Over/Under Auxiliary transmission:
2) How much "side to side" play (if any) should there be in the clutch shaft?
3) How much "end play" or "front to back" play (if any) should there be in the drive shaft?
4) When we had the Sherman out to clean it off and inspect it, we laid it on its side briefly, and oil came out of the clutch shaft end. Does that indicate the seal is bad, or was that just because we had it flipped on its side?
5) Am I correct when I say that the Sherman gets oiled "from the transmission" and we don't need to put any oil back in it prior to re-placing it in the housing?
6) Is this groove pictured below and circled in red on the transmission "wall" where the Sherman drive shaft sticks through to the transmission for an o-ring?
Or does the gasket labeled #33 below alone keep the oil at bay?
Thanks to everyone in advance for your help! The wealth of knowledge here is invaluable!
