What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2023]

So you're going all in then and not just removing the front cover. A word to the wise: trying to set endplay/preload didn't go well for me doing it by the book. Much better to add shims .002" at a time until you find where preload actually happens. Doing it by the book had me way too loose which left me with excessive input shaft slop which kept wiping out pilot bearings/bushings.

No planning on as little as possible but not many places had the partial kit, decided to just buy that one cause once I started shipping from other places it got to be more anyways

Hyundais and Kias still suck. Not just an uneducated musing.

Gonna start into the T56 tonight and see what we come up with, my buddy said he hasn't found any videos on do it just to see how it goes. Anyone come across any before? I know I've seen some photos from Supercharged111 and Built6spdMCSS doing their stuff

There are tons, your buddy hasn't tried hard enough. Seriously they are everywhere. Search T56 disassembly, the videos tend to be broken down into parts or else they'd be 2 hours long. Here's the video I used to set up endplay/preload my last time around. You'll find numerous bad examples of how to measure with a dual indicator, I wouldn't recommend it. Especially when you see dudes with the trans laying down horizontally measuring, they definitely f'd it up.

I stood it on its end for tear down. I didn't think it was that bad to work on. Too bad the one I was working on was thrashed. Post 64 for pics.....

That 5/6 driven gear may need a puller to remove. So far I've gotten by with this and a heat gun.

I'm able to get at it from both sides.

Fired up the Ole 46 tractor for the first time this year to haul some logs from a fallen tree away, then I mowed with it.

I have a couple of custom made tools for tearing down and building a T56.

You can leave the passenger side guide pin in the case the whole time, it helps.

I generally consider Hyundais to be disposable but it has been relatively reliable, especially considering she does absolutely nothing to take care of it.

Possilble that an intensive hands on seminar complete with grease and oil immersion might remedy the lack of care being exhibited?
