Ford 9N Trans - Countershaft Question, and differ. gasket

Brian Stack · Apr 6, 2009

I have two questions - the first involves removing a transmission countershaft from a 3 speed 9n. Manuals show a ring clip to hold the 1st and 3rd gears in place. I can't find this on my shaft, and the roller bearings on each end appear to be press-fit. Can this be?? If I can't get the bearings off, the large gear won't come off, and I can't get the shaft out the top. I have a couple of chipped teeth on the 2nd gear and would replace the shaft if I can get it out... any suggestions are appreciated!

Second question is on the "trumpet" axle castings - I have new gaskets that are about 1/8" too small in diameter for the flange. Ford dealer only has this same size gasket - I know I can trim the paper to fit, but what could be the reason my differential housing and trumpet castings aren't standard??
Ugh!
Thanks in advance, Brian

To answer the second part of your question, soak the gaskets in warm water 'til they swell back to normal size. APPARENTLY they've been on the shelf for quite a while! (SERIOUSLY.)

bearing must be forced off with a puller. I have any parts you need

Thanks Bob. I went ahead and trimmed the gaskets, since I wanted to use some Permatex #2 sealer, and that probably wouldn't work well with water on the paper.

Thanks, Ron. Please send your contact info, I might need a countershaft. Send price if you have one.
