Post Woodruff Key/ GTR clutch
Gents,

I'm reassembling my GTR's transmission. I wasn't the one who took it apart but it all seems to make sense on where to go. Only thing is I'm just not seeing where the woodruff key goes. I'm sure it's obvious, but can someone provide me a picture or talk me in to where it goes in regards to the shaft extension?

The key fits in the inside of the extension in the side that fits onto the crankshaft.

That's where it goes, and also in the key on the crankshaft. Tap it together and bolt it all back up!

I appreciate it. This would have been a ton easier if I had seen it come apart. I'm going to try and get step by step pictures both so y'all can tell me if I assembled it wrong, and so someone else in the future can see it done.

Lesson of the day yesterday, wear gloves when putting on antiseaze. I look like the tin man. My hands are silver today at work.

So ends up I had an extra woodruff key floating around from the crank of my busted old engine. That's what had me messed up. I couldn't figure out where this thing went. Mystery solved.

There is a small key that holds the timing gear onto the crank.

Yeah if you look on that picture, there was a small slot where that semi circle woodruff key went. It was inside my old busted block.

Y'all stay out of this. He's got it figured out now, with a nudge in the right direction from me. 8-)
