Tight fitting 22 gearbox

[martgifford]

I checked my car over the other day and it was a bit if a mess. I was changing screw to stainless and noticed on reconstruction how tight the gear box was even when backing of the screws. I flushed it, cleaned it and it's almost like when the gear ox is out of the carit is fine. In the car the chassis seems to tighten it so its no longer smooth but tight and a bit of a dog. , mid motor 22 any ideas
Thanks

Bent chassis?
Screw holes off centre?
Tightening the screws down out of sequence (so to speak)?

All could twist the case and stiffen it up.

It could be the anti squat shim and insert. If you don't have the right combo, the tranny doesn't sit properly.

Right combo? There's only one insert.

In the end I worked it out. Took me about 4 hours to work out the acre connecting one side of the gear box to the motor plate was o we right causing the gear box to twist a little causing it not to run right. It now is much smoother. Makes me think the one floor about the 22 is the maintenance of the car. You need to undo so many screws to get access to the diff. At least 10 screws and it's so fidlly. Are all 2wd like this. Sv2, dex 210, c4.1

Every car has it flaws, if you want to call it that.
Whether it's removing 8 or 12, I just don't see that much of a difference. Most cars are going to be close, because they're all similar in the number of fasteners because of the configuration.

Overtightening fasteners is operator error, not a design flaw.

This is for rear motor, in mid you need thinner insert for taller shim. numbers needs to match the notches

as for workability, the 22's rear end can be a pain. Now that I'm running the DEX210 it seems a bit better, but not much, to change the anti squate on it is like changing toe on the 22, you need to un bolt alot of stuff and flex it a bit, hopefully not shooting shims and inserts every were, so the 22 isn't the only one like that. I'm not sure what the cougar is like, but I know the xxx-cr was a peice of cake, and I think the B4 is similar. The X6^2 also seems pretty good with the ability to keep the motor plate in place and remouve just the tranny, very slick. In short, just get an electric screw driver for tear down and 80% of the re assembly, save the last 20% to do by hand.
