Hi Al Jones and anyone else who can help.:    I have a new Okie bushing for my 38 Chev.  Do you have step-by-step instructions on how to install it??   Thanks,   Bruce

Steve,

The okie bushing does have an integral seal in it so it will stop leaks.  But realize it only stops the transmission oil from draining back into the rear end.  If the trans oil is leaking out of the ball shaft onto the ground, that's a cork seal in the retaining ring.  That's an easy fix - see the factory repair manual.

Yes, you should have at least 90 weight in your transmission as well as soil compatible with bronze parts.  I use 90-140 as it helps minimize Class 1 or 2 leaks (given the light tolerances used back when it was made).  If you're running engine oil in it, consider it a bonus if it was detergent oil.  It helped to clean it out - so you now drain it and put the proper oil in it.  Most old manuals state that to flush the trans, add solvent and run down the road (effectively diluting the oil), drain, and fill.  Works great on tractors too.

Good luck,

Al Jones

After many years, I finally got my 1952 3600 on the road. I've driven it about 25 miles. Noticed a big leak at the rear of the torque tube section where it changes into a regular drive shaft. Does this require a new OKIE bushing or is there a seal? I did not do any work on this section during reassembly other than clean and paint .

I had the trans filled at Jiffy. The fluid in the trans. is real light weight not the 90W lube I recall being used in these. Do I need heavier lube and an OKIE bushing?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

Luke ;

1st. : CONGRATS ! . Fatherhood is demanding but also very rewarding .

I see you've purchased a new Bendix , be aware there are different ones , _COUNT_THE_TEETH_ before you try it , as the tooth count is CRITICAL and won't work if they're not the same .

My foggy ' brain ' tells me there's either 7 or 9 teeth on the Bendix depending on 6 or 12 volts .

FWIW : the Bendix (Starter Drive) for a 6 volt solenoid operated Chevy starter application is : 1949 Chevrolet Sedan with automatic .

I saw my old NAPA Echlin catalog last night and will cheerfully look it up for you if the one you ordered doesn't work . let me know .
