Well, my buddy piled up another Admiral Trans in another brand new HDI. It was backed off the trailer and spun around to head to the shop...............CLUNK, there she sits. It took me longer to type the first 2 sentences of this post than they got out of that machine.
Some of you might remember, back when we started having issues with the Admiral, I made the comment that it was the Splined Male part of the output shafts that were getting the Splines ripped off. So we've heard that this was an Alignment problem, and has been fixed............ It apears as though the fix was to harden the splines on the Male Output shaft
(Are you as confused as I am at this point?)
Anyway, now it looks like the hardened Splines on the Male part of the output shaft are tearing the Splines out of the Female part of the output shaft. This requires a complete teardown of the trans to replace these shafts.
Now, something is bugging me with this explanation, something is not ringing true and I can't put my finger on it at the moment. Maybe it wasn't explained to me right, or I misunderstood.
I'm hoping that I will have a better understanding once I look through the Tech Data and Parts diagrams (IF I am permitted to look through this info)
Hope I got this right, and am not just talking out my "Bungholio". I will post up if/when I hear more.
