The Dreaded Ring And Pinion Depth Measurements and Why You Should Care

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This poor Porsche 911 transaxle keeps challenging me. I've already had to swap the entire gearbox case, mainshaft & first gear, and now the differential. Wow, so much for an easy pops out third gear fix. At least I enjoy gearboxes more than sanding, ha ha. Thanks so much for watching this much detail.
Here's the puller I used to get the diff bearings off - amzn.to/3GtjXdL

    Great video . It would be very interesting to make a video how to install the shafts on the upgraded one piece bearing retainer. Thanks for the work you make

    Will do on the next one. It will be a bit harder pushing the bearings on. Did you see the pic of my new parts? I'm excited

    Also the 356 trans has a one piece retainer oddly enough.

    Fascinating! Nice MacGyver on the diy depth gauge do-la-bob to measure pinion depth, lash, etc. It may pay for me to someday learn the gearbox rebuild for my 911. I saw a place in AZ will go through the whole gearbox for 1k. I thought that’s fair. Then I keep hearing peeps come out of the place with a 10k+ final invoice 🥴. I have all factory manuals, it would be the tools, presses and gear pullers to buy. Nice work! Must of been real exciting doing your first gearbox. 🤓😂.

    $1k to take apart and then invoice for a bunch of new parts is a good business strategy, ha ha.

    I know bummer right. That differential doesn't look good. I plan to buy a limited slip differential for my other Transaxle so I can rob the differential from that transmission in the blue box that I bought disassembled. The ends on that one are nice. Happy easter!

    Hope you have several diffs to set up to make all of the time spent making that tool to measure the pinion depth worth it. I know that took some effort to make that tool and to get it set up.

    Hi i was wondering about the diff housing. a good machinist could bring down a few millimeters the damage surface and then put a hardened ring ideally from a bearing case with the cold hot and glue method . And after machining the new ring to the bearing spec installing the new bearing. I hope you understand what i want to say. What do you thing about this method?

    Guage blocks to the flat surface milled into the carrier.

    I have a guage block that touches the milled flat surface of the diff carrier and the plunger. Actually it's two pin guages and a mill parallel laid on top. That is how I calibrate the mitutoyo digital dial indicator.
