Almost done now, just a rear seal and the snap ring cover to replace.
This is a pic taken just before the band adjustment and the pan was put in place.
With the original 904 in the VG still going 2000 miles after the problems I had with it I think I wont get to find out if I have truly been successful in this rebuild until I get the chance to swap them over in a few months.
If anyone else is contemplating doing a reco on a TF for the first time, here are a few observations.
It ain't too scary if you take your time and keep organised.
A few MUST haves other than your basic tool kit:
* Good advice - Thanks to Blue in my case!
* Service Manual
* Time - You will go slow on your first adventure
* Torque wrenches, both foot pound & inch pound
* Air compressor - Not really a must, but I would not want to do without.
* Pump puller - make your own
* Pump assembling tool - make your own
* Packing tape - doubled over on itself so there is no sticky side, use to hold the detent ball in place with one hand while locating the manual selector lever during reassembly.
* Clutch spring compressor - make your own.
* 6" G clamp to compress the servo springs.
* Plenty of clean plastic storage boxes to wash/keep the sub assemblies and parts in. Plenty of NEW plastic bags to keep all your parts clean once you have them apart and reassembled.
You don't have to do the whole thing all at once.
I was surprised at how easy the parts were to to obtain, I used Sussex Autos.
