T5 5th Driven Gear Removal

[TC Cobra]

Hey Jimi or Anybody!

Swapping out my 5th gear set on a WC T5. The 5th driven gear won't budge from the output shaft.

Does that thing usually require a puller to remove? Not much meat to grab on if it does.

Thanks!

They slip on, but that being said I have seen them seize a little on the shaft, you can use a puller or two pry bars to get it to come loose. Also if you have a bronze hammer you can tap the gear with it and it will sometimes loosen up. Let me know if you need anymore help with your gear swap. jimig@standardtransmission.com

Jimi,

Thanks for the reply.

That thing is really on there. Pry bars, hammers, even profanity! It won't budge. I think a puller is the only answer. Who makes one? I've searched K-D, OTC, Mac, Snap-On - no luck.

Thanks for your help!

Just checking did you remove the snap ring? Also try www.ddperformance.com they might have some good info.
Good Luck!

PS click on links then follow info for a T5 for a breakdown manual.

Woody2,

Snap ring? What snap ring!? ... ;-) Yes, snap ring is off. I'll check out D&D.

Thanks!
