Anybody have transmission input shaft?

Anyone have one lying around? I need to align my clutch and would like to use the real thing instead of a Universal tool.

Please let me know
Thanks

I know what you mean, I wanted something similar and ended up using that damn universal tool.

How'd it go? were you able to get it alligned properly on the first try? I just wrestled a GM auto tranny off the car and even though the G260 is lighter I still don't want to be messing around with it for too long, My arms are killing me!

What pilot bearing diameter? I have a G240 off an M42 almost apart that I could lend you the input shaft from, but it's for a 15mm pilot bearing IIRC.

I also won't be near TO until at least the weekend.

Not actually too sure of the diameter dimensions, Don't worry about it. if I can't find one from a 260 I'll just use the tool.

Thanks for the help guys

ACS_DAN, that input shaft will work if you're willing to wait to borrows it.

I haven't driven the car much since i installed the clutch this winter but so far very good!

Cool! Thanks for confirming.

Sending PM to Duct_taper now!

What is the application you want to use it for? Most earlier cars used a 12mm pilot bearing... according to realoem it looks like the changeover happened late 1990-ish.

From what I can tell it looks like the 260s all used the 12mm bearing.

Edit: Part numbers are 11211720310 for the 15mm bearing and 11211709681 for the 12mm.

That confirms it, I'll need the 15mm one.

Thanks for sorting that out.

Anybody?

Duct_Taper · 05-14-2009, 09:31 PM

Wait, so you need the 15mm or the 12mm?

I have the 15mm but I think you need the 12mm.

ACS_DAN · 05-14-2009, 09:57 PM

I need the 15mm one. I made an error in my postings, this is actually a 250g tranny, so it utilizes the 15mm pilot bearing.

Duct_Taper · 05-14-2009, 09:59 PM

Ahhh... well, I can see if I can get the rest of my 240 apart and lend you the shaft from that. I'll be driving through TO on Saturday and Monday.

ACS_DAN · 05-14-2009, 10:06 PM

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it. No worries if you've got other stuff to do and can't get to it.

What time would you be passing through Toronto?
