First I would like to thank everyone that gave me encouragement last fall
when my trani didn't work and a neighbor and I decided to install one Bert
and I had purchased a few years earlier in hopes that I would still make
the three rallies - 49ers, Western States and GMCMI. Unfortunately, that
trani got me about 20 miles from home before seriously overheating and
turning the front of my coach a yellow oily mess. Still don't know if it
was the trani or if the rear brakes were sticking and caused the trani to
overwork while climbing a grade, but that is next up.
Well, this last weekend, a couple of GMC friends, my nephew and i removed
and replaced the dead trani with one that Manny had rebuilt. The removal
went very well and the installation had only a few hicups. Now that I have
seen the R and R from both the top side and the bottom side, it should go
much easier, if I ever need to do it again - hopefully never on my coach!
The upshot to all of this is it now works perfectly and I am hoping to be
back out on the road in Tumbleweed again in the near future. Just a bit of
clean up and some other interior work to do, but there should be nothing
serious to keep me from rolling.
Thank you everyone again and especially Manny for passing on his knowledge
for R and R ing it.
And I would encourage anyone that is even slightly mechanically incline to
take the plunge and do it themselves if the need to remove a trani happens.
Oh, must have done the job right as have only one extra bolt left over :)

Faye,
Please test drive for at least 50 miles, before you start cleaning up the
inside.

Jim,
Will do, but it is already behaving much better than the previous ones.
Also need to find out where that bolt goes! A job for this weekend.

Was the tranny separated from the final drive for the install? If you
then bolted the final drive to the tranny, your extra bolt is from the
upper part of that connection.
60,000 miles ago, I was told to not worry about it because I couldn't get
to it...I'll pass on the same advice.
Forgetaboutit !
Just a thought and congrats on the completed job !
