splitting a getrag 260

Yeah the output flange must be removed from the main shaft to split the rear housing off complete.

I think the counter shaft bearing might be retained in the rear housing with a circlip or similar. Once the selectors are out of the way it might stay in the housing.

nope not confident at all haha but the transmission is stuck in reverse and it sounds pretty easy to split the transmission and screw part 25 back into part 1

I already bought and installed a second transmission so this one is either going to the scrap yard or I am fixing it(not going through all the shipping BS just to sell a 100$ broken trans)

but thanks for the help...in the Bentley removing the output flange is talked about after splitting the case is mentioned so I thought it was only necessary if i were trying to remove the gears off of the back half of the case

and you would be surprised what I can accomplish with a few stupid questions on r3v and the a Bentley(and google)

Here's a link to all of the parts within your box.

Yes, you need to remove the output flange to split the rear section. A lot of the bearings inside of the box are held with circlips and/ or are pressed into the housing or onto the main and secondry shaft.

Judging by your post, you do not sound confident in the work you are doing. Whats wrong with the box? Have you considered purchasing another 2nd hand box?

edit, is this box out of your iX?

So I am in the process of splitting a getrag 260 and so far I got it to split about a 1/4 inch and now there seems to be something causing it to stick

so far I removed all of the rear bolts that hold the case together, I have taken out the reverse switch, the reverse gear shaft retaining bolt and the selector shaft pin

is there anything im missing or should I just keep cranking away at it
do I have to remove the drive flange
any good diys about splitting a getrag

thanks in advance
