RE: IML: 1960 trans/prop/diff/problems

["Ernie Stepney" <estepney@xxxxxxxxx>]

Steve:
It sounds like you probably hit the nail on the head with the prop
shaft. On 4X4s we have seen bent shafts break steel adapter plates
because of the whipping. You might want to inspect the steady bearing
mount if yours has one.

Subject: IML: 1960 trans/prop/diff/problems

hi, i have just had my 1960 trans rebuilt as was hanging off bell
housing 
and caused major damage to internals, all was fine for about 300 miles
when 
then same problem arose?? i returned car to the autoshop - who said that
the 
4 bolts had come lose again.. he re-sucured and i should take back for 
recheck after 100 miles. does anyone know the cause of this problem????

as a precaution i am having the propshaft balanced / uj's replaced and
the 
diff checked out.

also oil is escaping up and out of a selector cable, are there new 
replacment cables available??





best wishes, steve.
