I'm stuck.
I pulled out the reduction gear to get to the reverse band and changed the reverse band okay, but I can't get the reduction gear to drop back in. There are too many things that need to align at the same time.
Also the instructions (from here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/jatco-auto-box-reverse.269069/post-5224388 ) say to remove the input shaft, which I didn't. I would but I can't get it to pull out.
I could pull the drum out (that the reverse band stops) and assembly that with the reduction gear and drop it all in as one unit, but that the reverse band would be too loose to get the whole thing to drop in.

There must be a trick to this. Can anyone tell me?

I sometimes find this… struggle for hours getting something to go back, then give up for the day.
Try again a day after, and all slots into place!

I put it down to my own fatigue and self-annoyance sometimes.

Glad it’s sorted

Glad to hear you got it in. One way or another!

today I got a K series, with crankshaft and the adapted flex plate, bolted up to the assembled Jatco gearbox. This was to index where to where to weld the trigger wheel on to the torque converter. The good news is that entire assembly turns over beautifully smoothly with no sticky or stiff spots. So I guess that means that the alignment is good.

The adapter plate

mounted on a K series

I had to shorten the end of the V6 starter motor. Probably it shoots into the V between the heads on a V6

Just checking, the starter gear won't fling off now will it ?

I'm not sure what you mean. The starter gear is part of the flexplate / flywheel which will be pretty firmly bolted to the crankshaft. I don't see how it could fling anywhere.

unless you mean the gear on the end of the starter motor? Originally it was press / splined onto the starter motor shaft but now it's welded onto the shaft.

Doesn't it need to move out when it engages or does the whole shaft move out?
