15/3/2011
Today we continued stripping down the Toyota gearbox. 5th gear from the input and output shaft had been removed for us due to problems we had last week (as seen in the picture below), so we started off by removing the 2 circlip rings attached to the input/output shaft using a pair of circlip pliers and a screwdriver, we did this so that when we remove the gearbox cover the 2 shafts with the gears on them would remain in the transmission housing.
We also got to see inside a manual RWD gearbox and how the power flow moves through it using a cluster shaft. It was good to see how this worked so that i could compare the differences between the FWD/RWD gearboxes.
