I couldn't find one on here idk if there is or if someone could help me out.

 

First you remove your trans. Then you securely pack it on a pallet. Next you send it to http://www.sheptrans.com/

 

I would love to get this info as well.

 

I don't need to send to anyone else, all my internals of my trans are in great working order, my bell housing needs replaced. And that's what I'm doing.

 

Do you have a press? A bell housing replacement is not a simple procedure on these transmissions. Have to remove and swap all the internals over, check clearances on everything, etc...

 

Yes I have everything to do it, Its just I would like to know if there's a manual out there to do it, or if someone else wrote something down, just so I can check and make sure I do everything right.

 

I bought the EVO VIII manual off ebay and it has info on rebuilding. Just skimmed over it but it says about using solder and torque it together and take apart and mic it to see what size shims you need and all that. I think it was about $5

 

I found this complete service manual. It is extremely handy. Has everything in it. Here is the link

I hope this helps someone else like me too.

 

It is an easy job so just make sure you set your preloads to the proper spec and the rest is just nuts and bolts.

 

Let me ask a quick question here, What I'm trying to do here is replace my bell housing. So to do this when I take it apart, is the output and input shaft going to come out with it? and to change this part out do i need to dissemble/reassemble the output/input shaft to the new one?
I've never done in work on a trans before but if I could maybe take it all out as one big piece and just put it back on, it seems like i could do it. But if I have to take all the gears apart then I'm not doing this..

 

Okay, I finished with my trans last night, and it is very simple to replace the bell-housing.

What you want to do is follow the same steps as of replacing your clutch and drop out the trans.

First unbolt the control housing and make sure you get the neutral return spring out with it.

Then unbolt the undercover

Next loosen all the bolts that hold the transmission case and bell-housing to each other.

Set it up right with the bell-housing facing up, this will keep you from having to realign everything on the inside. Make sure the transmission case stays up right untill you put the new bell-housing on.

Then remove the loosen bolts.

Now take a pry bar and remove them from each other, you will have to use one of these because of the adhesive in between the two.

Remove all pieces from the old bell-housing and put them in the new one.

Take brakleen and a rag and remove the old adhesive.

Use new adhesive ( mits sell this for 50 dollars, I used permatex because i wasn't going to pay that much for glue. ) on both transmission case and bell-housing.

And then put back together.

Also I left out the removal, assembly of the clutch fork because mine was broken and I have not replaced it yet, But its very simple. remove springs, slide the shaft up and pop out the fork.

Its really quite simple, it only took my around 1-2 hours to do this and I was being very careful not to mess anything up.




BTW, i would suggest replacing your clutch right now since all this is out.

 

I bought a repair manual for my engine and tranny rebuild

 

This procedure shouldn't really be done without checking the preload and clearnances of input, output and centre diff assemblies and reshimming if required. Changing the bell housing itself will change the clearances/preloads.

Please don't take the above list as being 'all you need to do'.

 

you must be doing a 5 speed. Because I just finished up this same procedure on a 6 speed last night and it wasnt just as simple as unbolting the bell housing and popping it off.

Obviously you already finished yours up, but the factory service manual goes along way in getting the details right in a procedure like this. Making sure the preload and correct shims are in place is a must.

 

Im about to do this on a 5 speed this weekend hopfully all goes well
