Fillinjc Member Feb 7, 2016 #1 Hi, I am thinking that the transmission main shaft in my 1930 coupe has the fixed front bearing spacer and should not get the "key ring". Correct? Thanks, Jerry Attachments image.jpg 91.3 KB · Views: 106

Tom Endy Well-known member Feb 7, 2016 #2 yes, that is correct, you have an early main shaft. Do not put the later "key ring" spacer on it as it will jam the transmission. You might want think about replacing the front slider as it looks to be in poor condition. Tom Endy

Tom Endy Well-known member Feb 7, 2016 #5 Yes, it looks pretty bad. Also check the nose end of the input shaft to see if it is grooved. Slide a new pilot bearing on it and see if there is a lot of wiggle. It can be repaired by machining down and pressing a sleeve over it. Tom Endy
