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 40 years, and is now completey stuck frozen tight. Shown below are Time Stamped Photos of the sequence were the time each picture is taken right in the lower right hand corner of the picture. The entire process from start to finish is within 15 minutes!
The arrival: Here's the transmission as they brought it to the StrongArm Man over at the Spring Waukee Swap meet to see if The Canned Muscle in StrongArmSprays 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 StrongArmSprays 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 Canned Muscle Beam of StrongArmSprays 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 Man to go off and find a channelock to grab the shafts and rotate them and 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. 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 about 2 Dollars worth of spray - With NO Damage to any internal components. StrongArmSprays Turns Rust into A Joke ! That's why it's known as the "Macinery Tonic"..
