For those who have been following my continuing saga about my new acquisition (a 1956 640) I have an update.

Things done to date:

Replaced flywheel ring gear.

Replaced clutch disc, old one spun the center out.

Replaced the pressure plate.

Replaced pilot bearing…. old one was not to be found.

Replaced throw out bearing.

Replaced retainer housing, oil seal and bearing on input shaft. The end on the old one had broken sometime in the past, so the throw out bearing had no way to locate.

Drained and flushed all oil reservoirs, the trans housing had water in it, old boot was dry rotted, replaced it.

Repaired the “floating” starter problem.

Replaced one front spindle. Old one had stripped threads from previous loss of bearings.

It now fires right up, purrs like a kitten, and shifts gears without grinding.

Thanks to all who gave input on on all postings. Your input and reading the manual helped me make some sensible decisions on the repairs.

Life is good again.

Good deal!

While you did a fair amount of work, the results sound very much worth it!
