091 build for turbo bus

Picked up a couple 091 gearboxes to try to build for my turbo bus. Looking for tools.

Weddle should have them.. weddleindustries.com. Looks like you need a new mainshaft bearing too! LOL I suggest F.A.G. if you can still get them (they were still available a month or so ago).

heh heh

I was waiting for someone to point that bearing out.
I hope the pinion teeth aren't damaged from driving on that bearing. They look ok, but I still need to dissassemble and get closer to those teeth.

I found an early input shaft today so I just need an 002 bellhousing now to fit it to my 68 bus.

The r&p looks ok to me. Usually ms bearing failure doesn't damage the opposite end of the shaft (pinion). But there's a good chance 3rd/4th gears are damaged. No biggie..stock gears are cheap and you might want to buy different ratios anyway. (they're not cheap, lol). Also, I suggest a new pinion bearing.

Where did the balls from the MS bearing go?

4th gear replacement and resleeving the housing will most certainly be required ..

What housing would be resleeved?

Thanks

The intermediate housing .. the bore where that mainshaft bearing resides. Main case usually requires resleeving, too.
Just from what we can see:
Resleeve
New mainshaft brg
New 4th gear
New 4th gear needle brg
Probably much more

I ordered a few tools from LongEnterprises so I can dissassemble .
Then I'll post more photos as they come apart.

There are 2 gear boxes. The one that's got the missing ball bearings hopefully will have some usable spare parts at least.

Would it be good to change 4th to a .77 and 3rd to a 1.14 for use in a bay bus with a 2276 turbo?

My van has about 230 hp. My .78 top gear is almost too high, but pretty good. A .80 might have been better. 27.4" tall tire, 4.86 R&P, 5500 lbs.

My tires are 23.5". I don't know the horsepower yet.But the cam is supposed to be 5500rpm max.

Pablo2 · Post by **Pablo2** » Fri Aug 10, 2012 7:25 am

That's quite a small tire for a van. Yes, you'd do well to install taller gearing.

What size bearing race drivers are needed for the removal of bearings in the case housings of the 091 transaxle?
Wanted to pick up a set since I have none.

finally started dissassembly on my one complete 091.How does this ring & pinion look?
