zev Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hey All, I'm doing some drivetrain work on my '72 240 and found this machined spacer sitting on the transmission jack and can't figure out what it is. Specifically, I had an oil leak from the rear main cap side seals which caused the clutch to get oiled and slip, so I pulled the tranny, clutch, flywheel, oil pan & rear main cap. It's possible this came off something else from an earlier project and just fell on the transmission jack, but I feel like I would have heard it rattling around when I carried the jack out of the basement. It also doesn't seem to be a part off the jack. Has anyone see this thing before? Thanks! Zev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 It was also bone dry and had no trace of any lubricant or oil on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunkhouse Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 It looks new. The only thing I can think of related to your work is the trans. input shaft bushing located in the center of the flywheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 You mean the pilot bushing? It’s still in the end of the crank so that’s out unfortunately. Was my first thought also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanotown22 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I will name that part Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 I was thinking it looks more like an "Edna". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Gnome Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Could Bobby or Edna be from the transmission mount bushings? I would guess its from something else or not original, I don't think any original parts had finish like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 My guess: part of the tranny jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
