440IC Early Model 5 Speed Transmission Overhaul

[Scott Corbett]

About ready to take the big plunge....!

On removal from the Crawler I am told the Input Shaft Splines (closest to engine) may be bad/cracked and condition not known until removal??

I have all known needed parts now except for a mainshaft. What could I expect to find with the input splines??

The shaft at the engine is not part of the transmission, that is either the propellor shaft if no reverser, or the reverser input shaft. Either way, I have never had cracked splines there, the most you will probably see is some wear on the splines.

I was talking about the transmission input shaft splines...the spline end that sticks out of the transmission and goes into the reverser.

Has anyone experienced broken input shaft splines when seperating the shafts?

Okay, got it. I have never seen input spline damage on that transmission, other than maybe some wear.
