Taking all The Fight out of it:
OLD CROSLEY TRANSMISSION
Freed Up and Working in Under 15 Minutes.
This transmission is in perfect condition! It's from little Crosley cars that were on the road back before WWII. There's only One Problem, it sat outside someplace for the past 50 years, and is now completey stuck frozen tight. Shown below are Time Stamped Photos of the sequence were the time each picture is taken is right in the lower right hand corner of the picture. The entire process from start to finish is accomplished within 15 minutes!
The
arrival: Here's the transmission as they brought it to the StrongArm
Man over at the Spring Swap meet to see if The Canned Muscle in
StrongArmBrand could help.
Starting
at 17:35 on the clock, the process starts as we begin to "hit it with
the Arm" as the saying goes, putting StrongArmBrand onto the bolts that
hold the cover on the transmission, and into the shifter lever, all of
which are stuck. None of the shafts or levers were movable on this
transmission.
Within
three miniutes, the shift lever begins to get loose, and the bolts come
out easily, and the cover is removed, revealling that this transmission is completly filled with water ! The journals and shifters are all submerged and frozen fast.
This
is the condition of the gears and innards of the transmission as it was
opened. The water is poured out, and the inner and lower gears as
covered with rust. Note that with StrongArm there is no gasket damage when
the cover is removed. If this gasket had torn up and shreded, the
transmission could not have been used until a replacement was found or
made.
Over
the next two minutes, the Bottled Muscle in StrongArm Brand is now
applied into the transmission and onto the cover into the sliders that
grab the shifters and work the gears. The shifter lever is then worked
and starts to slide the pieces as it becomes loose. The Gears are re
sprayed and worked back and forth by hand on the shafts.
As
the looseness increases, the boys get the StrongArm Guy to go off and
find a channelock to grab the shafts and rotate them to get the
transmission action in each gear to again function properly.
With
that done, and all the gears and sliders now turning freely by hand,
the cover is screwed back on and the shifter lever is used to work the
transmission in and out of each gear and the shaft is turned, working
the transmission in it's gears. All parts of the transmission are now
functional. Their mission is accomplished. All this was done in less
then 15 minutes on the clock: From 17:35 to 17:49 - Fourteen Minutes
Total Time Elapsed for this..
ALL
DONE! Here's the can on the transmission after all is done and the boys
wipe their hands off. Less then 1/4 of the can was sprayed total. An
antique transmission worth hundreds of dollars brought back to live
with a just a few dollars of StrongArm - With NO Damage to any internal components. StrongArmBrand Turns Rust into A Joke ! That's why it's known as the "Machinery Tonic"..
