    71 M35 Transmission help

    Apparently each time the military does something to these trucks the VIN changes. Mine basically had new metal on the drivers side, door, fender, hood, step, etc. The original paperwork that came with the truck said 1971. When I registered it in MD, with the title, numbers were missing on the...

    71 M35 Transmission help

    Yeah, well if I go ahead and use the upper shaft from the spare trans I will put it into my parts cleaner first. The press fit doesn't bother me too much, I can work with that, though difficult it may be. My biggest thing is just understanding and you've explained that quite well. Although, from...

    Hey Tom, sorry I was out looking at the spare trans when you posted. I see the yoke is pressed on. I understand that now, thanks

    71 M35 Transmission help

    OK, so once I have removed the 4 bolts to the transfer case, and get the shaft out of the way, remove the center nut holding the yoke, is that pressed on or should it slide off? Geeze I don't meant to be a pain-in-the-neck here.......I'm just trying to understand this. Since I have the spare...

    71 M35 Transmission help

    Tom, bear with me here please. The slider moves forward and back to engage 2 or 3 gear, as with the others. What actually engages? I know there is an inner spline, I just don't know what "hits" what to engage the shaft to the gears

    71 M35 Transmission help

    I'm thinking thats what I'll do is swap upper shafts. However, and just so I'm clear on this. The PDF shows having to use a puller to remove the bearing on the transfer case end of the trans. If I'm understanding you correctly, I remove the 4 bolt connecting the transfer case, then remove the...

    71 M35 Transmission help

    Yeah, I was hoping this would be something stupidly simple because of the way it happened and all of the other gears working but I suppose thats not the case. The PDF in one of the previous repiles has pretty much all information about tearing down and putting back together. My main problem is I...

    71 M35 Transmission help

    I'm down to the point I would just like to buy another transmission!!!!! I can drive the truck on the road no problem, just go from 1st to 3rd easy. However, I don't want to take the truck off road this way, especially living here on the beach. Driving in that sand is tough on everything. I let...

    71 M35 Transmission help

    Hey Tom, I've done that. I put it into every gear and it wants to move, except for 2nd gear. I put it in 2nd and it just does nothing, no noise, no anything. When I look at the spare trans and I move the slider to engage 2nd it sort of clicks into place. On the one in my truck it just slides in...

    71 M35 Transmission help

    Hey guys, So I still haven't gotten this problem fixed and I'm at a loss as to what to do. I've popped the top and everything looks good. Forks are clean and not bent, everything seems to be sliding as it should, no broken teeth. I have a spare transmission, with a cracked housing, for reference...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    I'll tell you what I did and it worked for me. I have 4 batteries, 2 sets of 2. Each set is in series, then both sets are paralleled. Off of each set I split the load, 1 for running lights and brake lights. I added a toggle switch to the dash to turn the lights on, and added a momentary toggle...

    71 M35 Transmission help

    OK Guy's, I pulled the top off today. Since I'm an engine guy and not a transmission guru I'm not sure what the problem is. I can't see anything wrong but then again I don't know what I'm looking at. I know absolutley NOTHING about trans!!! I can rebuild the engine all day long but when it comes...

    71 M35 Transmission help

    Tom, is this an easy fix? If it's a snap ring can I put a new one on without tearing much out? Wound up working Mon and today. Haven't had an opportunity to take the top apart yet to look. hopefully tomorrow weather depending. Thanks Brad
