W58 Transmission rebuild part question/issue

Postby SR85DET » Mon Feb 13, 2017 5:22 am

Has anyone here had experience rebuilding a W58?
So far everything is going fairly smoothly but I ran into an issue with the number 3 clutch hub. While removing the hub I bent the plate attached to the back of the hub. It's basically made into/onto the hub but I'm not sure what purpose it serves. I'm wondering if it has to be shaped perfectly for a particular reason. I did notice that sandwiched between the plate and clutch hub there is a ring like I have seen before on other clutch hubs but I just don't see it's purpose here. I will try to get some better pics up tonight.

Also in the diagram the shape/sizing of the clutch looks a little different and you can't really see the plate. I was hoping maybe I can buy this plate separate but I doubt it.

If anyone has advice on tools they have used in this process, that would be awesome. I have a couple bearing pullers and a press. I found special tool 09950-40011-02 through OTC which replaces 09950-40010 in the service manual but it's $2200 now so no thanks. Thanks ahead for any help!

I'm pretty sure the springs have to do with the synchronizer keys. I'll probably just bend the plate back to the same gap if no one has any insight.
