Gear change selector question
Hi carrier folks. I think I have run into another unanticipated problem. This is due to not having the original transmission and making use of one that I assume came from some model of truck. I probably should have noticed it a lot earlier but seeing as I was only recently the lucky recipient of most of the gear shift parts, thanks Michael, it didn’t occur to me. You can see in the before pics that a lot of drive line brake stuff was bolted to the right side of the Trans case. I have gone through rebuilt and reassembled the Trans as I received it, but now I notice that the threaded bosses should be on the left side to mount the horse shoe support. I do know that I will have to do something with the gear selector shaft as that is not right either but back to the top hat casting question. Does anyone know if I can reassemble the guts in a mirror image and just rotate the casting around so that threaded bosses are pointing out toward the left? My guess is I’m going to have to source a different style top casting. Thanks for your time in answering my question.
