After many years, I finally got my 1952 3600 on the road. I've driven it about 25 miles. Noticed a big leak at the rear of the torque tube section where it changes into a regular drive shaft. Does this require a new OKIE bushing or is there a seal? I did not do any work on this section during reassembly other than clean and paint .
I had the trans filled at Jiffy. The fluid in the trans. is real light weight not the 90W lube I recall being used in these. Do I need heavier lube and an OKIE bushing? Any advice appreciated.

Fatherhood is demanding but also very rewarding . I see you've purchased a new Bendix , be aware there are different ones , _COUNT_THE_TEETH_ before you try it , as the tooth count is CRITICAL and won't work if they're not the same . My foggy ' brain ' tells me there's either 7 or 9 teeth on the Bendix depending on 6 or 12 volts . FWIW : the Bendix (Starter Drive) for a 6 volt solenoid operated Chevy starter application is : 1949 Chevrolet Sedan with automatic . I saw my old NAPA Echlin catalog last night and will cheerfully look it up for you if the one you ordered doesn't work . let me know . -Nate Luke wrote : > > Hey guys, > > My trucks starters gear broke and now were down to only one car and my wife > is less than a month away from giving birth :0 I've got to get this fixed > ASAP.
