Hi Tim, welcome to the club! I can't blame you for wanting to keep your 1/18, its a wonderful machine and you wont ever be able to buy something new like it again. I'm a bit confused, you have the parts and the instructions, are the instructions not clear? If you can let us know exacly what you need help with maybe one of us who has done this before can be of assistance. | ||

IIRC,it's pretty straight forward,removing the transmission,and changing the tub seals,and also removing the clutch to install new linings.When these were still under warranty,I could remove a trans in about a half hour,but I had done a LOT of them.The only special tool you might need is a set of bellows pliers,and even they aren't absolutely necessary(but make the job soooo much easier...) When you get to where you remove the retaining nut,that holds the tub support,be sure to soak it with good penetrating fluid,for at least a day. Any questions you have I'm sure will be answered by someone around here. kennyGF | ||

Hi Tim welcome
If you have the service manual then you have the photos of what to do. I have done many of these machines and can answer any of your quandries along the way. You should have a good working knowlege of tools and how things are put together. I know what these machines must mean to you, I also lost my mother to cancer and treasure my little mementos of her. I would start by reading the manual cover to cover while the front panel is off the machine that will help de-mystify the process for you as you will be able to see the parts on the machine and in the book. The service manuals are very specific. Each service procedure is individual and can be done on its own. These machines were designed for service. Use this thinking---> you can't loose because the machine is already broken! So its a win win situation already. Jet | ||
