what tools may use for centering the clutch during reinstalling ?

a simple plastic alignment tool is usually included with the clutch kit, if not, it's available separately:

now another question, please,

i will change my gearbox, how should i remove this rod from the old gearbox ? @sfdon i found nothing in the books

i need it in the new one, as it is not present, so how can i remove it ? is it a thread ? pressure ? ...
 
I'm very familiar with Porsche transmissions, not these.
But if the ballpin is unthreaded, it should fall out if the alloy housing is heated.

If it was installed with a retaining agent, adhesive or sealant, it might require some light tapping from the inside as well.
I would not attempt to press or drive out the ballpin from an unheated housing.
 
Hi, I finally was able to remove it, at wisely @Jon B said it was heat and some persuasion

not included in my case, plan to build one

deQuincey, the E9 factory tool, Nr. 603, was re-numbered in the mid-1970s to Nr. 21 2 100.
It's pictured below in the E24 repair manual.

The tool diameters are 12mm for the pilot bearing, and 23mm for the clutch hub.

thank you so much,

making one tomorrow, and yes, my own calculations gave me 12 and 23, glad that you confirmed

can you check lengths, please ? 12mm is around 26mm in length ? and for the 23mm i plan to go until 100mm to have enough length

@frogisland is so kind that he will sell me one of his spares,


here now the question:

my actual gear box has a hole in the wall of the gearbox body, like this:

you can see no hole in the drawing, but thw hole is present in the part and also in the exploded drwaing from the orange books:

so everything works; the hole in the gearbox wall allows the oil to go out in that point, then the rod lets the oil come out through the hole up to the ball, so oil can travel and lubricate the ball

the ammount of oil is limited by the felt

here it comes the question,

my new gearbox has no hole in the wall; see here:

i do not plan to make a hole as that would mean to dissassemble the whole gear box,

how bad would be to eliminate the continuous oil lubrication (i have checked that the felt was completely frozen and i suspect no oil was coming actually), and substitute it by Moly grease ?
