Transmission help

I started to rebuild my trans and the input shaft will not come out of the case. The main drive bearing spins but seems to be stuck in the case. My question is what is the best method for removal, I was afraid to heat it with the cluster gear still inside. This is my first trans rebuild I have read and ordered a rebuild DVD but of course everything comes apart in those resources. I appreciate any help

thank you, Adam
 
I'm assuming it's not a multie disc 1928 transmission. Did you remove the 4 bolt
on the throw out collar and remove it(front of the trans)? Are you removing the input shaft out the front? A lite tap should remove it.
 
Remove the rear bearing retainer. Pull the main shaft out of the back of the transmission. Lift the sliders gears out. You should be able to slide the roller bearing out of the inside of the input shaft. Take a long punch or a piece of round stock and insert from the back of the transmission into the input shaft where you removed the roller bearing. Tap on it with a hammer and it should come out.

Thank you Tom for helping this greenhorn I have been reading your tech articles (great help also). I was unsure about hitting and where, but a few whacks and it came right out

My question has to do with the cluster and reverse idler shaft. There is a seal kit that snyders sells to bolt over the ends do I need this if I buy new shafts with O rings or will the O rings be enough

Buy the new shafts for the cluster and the reverse idler. They come grooved for an o-ring and they come with the o-ring. Then you do not need the seal kit.

The seal kit works if you want to reduce the leak and the transmission is still in the car.
 
My experience is that the O-ringed shafts are sufficient. The bolt-on seal is intended for the folks that have a leaking ****** case already mounted in the car. Just be sure that you lightly chamfer the outside edges of the shaft holes with 600-grit paper to prevent damage to the O-rings from any sharp edges on the way in. Oil the O-rings before installation and take it easy.
