<VV> your trans inquiry posted to Virtual Vairs

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Mark,

It's been a while since I've had one of those covers off, but I don't think I used any sort of glue, but if you want to go that way maybe a dab of Permatex would work as well.  You also might get the trans oriented so the cover goes slightly up and the forks won't fall out of the cover, rather than trying to retain the forks and lower the cover onto the transmission.

I’m in Dover DE if anyone close wants to check it out.  I have used grease to hold the forks in place before with “OK” results.  Wondering about using a drop of the gel, super glue to hold them.  I would think this would pop loose easy enough but hold long enough to get it together.  Also, if I tried the super glue , put it on the round end of the forks (cover side} and slide the forks onto the shaft in 1 piece.   Any thoughts?   Again, a very small amount of glue.
