    SM465 will not go into 2nd

    One more oddity about this transmission or drivetrain is that when I'm in reverse if the truck is rolling backwards and I press the clutch in the rear tires will completely lock up. once the truck is hot it doesn't do it that often. But I have not read anyone having a transmission binding...

    SM465 will not go into 2nd

    I apologize for the late response, for some reason I wasn't notified! I took it apart and I found a bearing inside the front input shaft completely tore itself apart. So I replaced it and the noise went away for a little while but now I faintly hear it again. It did not fix the not going into...

    SM465 will not go into 2nd

    I had Triax 75w-90 GL-4 fluid in it before I took it apart

    SM465 will not go into 2nd

    Hello everyone! I picked up a sm465 from a guy a while back and he claims that the transmission has been rebuilt a couple years ago and never put into a truck. After i put it into my truck and drove it i found that you can go from 1st (or low) to 2nd just fine and 3-4 are good as well but...

    update. I filled the transmission last night to come into about 2 quarts on the floor this afternoon. And it's coming from the front of the trans. Probably going to blow this thing up if one more thing goes wrong lol.

    I took some pictures of it today so I could make sure we were thinking about the same thing. So is this what yall are kind of talking about as far as mounting positions? I put it back it the same as it came out so I didn't think anything should have been different.

    I am using new hardware. The old stuff that came off the crossmember was nasty and missing a bunch of pieces. I got all new bolts, nuts, and washers for the crossmember. I didn't get any bolts with the transmission so I got some grade 8 bolts like Bucket said earlier and they seemed to fit.

    I got a high hump cover Im installing right now. And I don't know anything about spacers? I don't think I need the skid plate because i shouldn't be hitting the trans with the road. This truck isn't going to be much for offroading.

    *update* I got the new bell housing and it does fit pretty well the clutch fork that came with it works as it should. I attempted to put the transmission in over the weekend but it wouldn't go in due to misalignment of the clutch. I used the doorman clutch alignment tool but it didn't work too...

    I thought about trying to modify it but getting the old clutch fork would probably cause more problems on my end and I do not want to take any chances (these past few weeks with this thing have been a horrendous chore of wrong parts and trying to make things work). I ended up ordering a bell...
