Zf S5 42 Rebuild Kit Manual
I'm in the process right now and it's a piece of cake.:) 'it's easy when you know how' -cowboy buddy that's accomplished much!:) Talked to '-the- ZF guy in Tucson' just today about the expensive tools needed to take the suckers apart. All those special pullers etc, right?:/ 'slam it down on a concrete floor:)' LOL:) Works like a champ!
LOL:) But I don't have any concrete handy so I used a hunk of steel from the scrap yard. Pulling the bearings was easy once I found those two old leaf springs.
Getting it apart was easy as anything.:) But uhhh. Can someone tell me how to put it back together.? 3rd was 'grinding' and found zero clearance on that syncro and.012' clearance on the rest of 'em. BTW, how you like my pink homemade T57L-500-B tool?
Alvin in AZ ps- No women 'round here to tell me I can't overhaul my ZF in the livin'room! Pps- Waiting on OEM synchro rings, the 'kit' I bought has no-name's in it.:/ ppps- If a dumb$%^ from Arizona can rebuild one themselves. I'm in the process right now and it's a piece of cake.

LOL And when the wife sees that chunk taken out of the concrete floor, she will lock up her purse and you will never see those. again! Not to mention that the impact could dent the spot where it hits. Archangel wrote: And when the wife sees that chunk taken out of the concrete floor. Yeah.:) In this case the expert was using the floor of his shop/business.:) The trick is to slam it as straight-down as you can. Better for the shaft's end and better for pulling the synchro hubs. I use a 24' long section of rail road rial for my anvil.
Same here and a few other sizes too.:) At work I used to collect all the nice little pieces of rail I could get my hands on and give them away just as fast.:) I ended up with the oddballs, a couple were hunks cut off during a broken rail repair. I found those broken rails using a volt meter and almost every broken rail I had was found at night. Warm days + cold nights = broken rail.and a square chunk about 6' X 10' X 12'. That's about the same weight as I ended up using.
The first synchro hub was pulled in the house on a 4'x 10'x 2foot hunk of wood. It worked, but not that good and for sure not what it takes for the other two synchro hubs.
The ends of the main shaft are beveled like the head of a new cold chisel. And since it's stronger steel than the head of a cold chisel, it tales the punishment no sweat! LOL:) (cold chisel top = '1070 to 1080 pearlite'.just like railroad rail:) The main shaft is at least medium-carbon low-alloy steel.
Now that's a perfect example of my budgeted resources! Cool thanks.:) The front seal installation tool looks just like a faucet.! LOL:) The silly thing is driven-in from the -inside- so the tool needed to fit inside the seal. That was the first thing I found that fit perfectly.:) That is where the factory manual comes in handy! My only manual is a '91 Ford Truck Shop Manual and it's plenty, IMO.:) ZF made one but copies are big bucks and hard to find both.:/ No real need IMO but it'd be a fun read.:) (you can have my share of 'made up story' books;) I also invested in (last time I had money coming in) at Harbor Freight for a stand up press to squeeze it all back together again. I should do that or at least build one.
The one I have now looks just like the underneath side of a double-wide trailer.;) Alvin in AZ ps- Waited the Ex out, until she found someone else to torment the hell out of! Yeee Haaaw!:) Left the kids behind too. More pics and more of my long winded usual BS.
Bearing press?:/ We dohn need no steekeen press when we gottuh 8 poun' single jack!:) Man I'll tell you what, that hammer has worked out real nice. It'll cut off frame rivets like it means it.;) Check out the two old Ford9inch axle-retainers being used for spacers. Took the picture with the flash just to show those off.

LOL:) (shoulda used a flashlight) The cross-pin is from a washing machine. 15/16' wood bit for the hole in the block of wood and works for either end. I don't know about you, but my back can handle working on the floor way better than standing or sitting at a work bench. YMMV on that.:) (4x10 block of wood) - I see part numbers for all sorts of stuff I could 'use' but can't find a seller. Like the rubber plug for the bottom.
My T18 doesn't have huge gaping holes all over the bell housing and does fine out here where it's dry, so figured this dangged ZF didn't neither. That's a 3/4' rubber hose, WD-40ed up and hammered into place then cut off from the inside with my pocket knife. I'm going to drill a hole in the steel spacer plate on the engine or bottom of the bell housing or something.
All those holes and no drain at the very lowest spot!:( Still haven't worked out what I'm going to do with the slave cylinder holes. Could use a seller of simple parts like springs. Ford has a suggestion for upgraded 'shift rail detent springs' and gives a part number but this old 'dent-sider' don't buy stuff from the dangged 'obsolete-ers' anymore, unless I absolutely have to!:/ Upgraded detent springs. E8TZ-7E218-A 10mm case plugs for the dentents. E7TZ-7L013-A With shipping and all, from 'Ford' the 'inner lever boot' cost almost $30 and it's just the rubber part even tho their pictures show the metal part attached. F4TZ-7277-A There's a part left out of most ZF S5-42 exploded diagrams but Ford's diagrams have it but they had to add a number for it between 38 and 39 so called it '38A'.:) Part number '7046' is all the farther I got with it.:/ 'oil baffle' 'front bearing oil scoop' 'input shaft oil dam' Are the names for it I could find. One came in the $330 bearing and synchro ring kit.
Here's my 'fix' for the springs. Notice that one spring is turned so you can see the worn-spot on it? All three springs from a certain synchronizer hub were like that.
(Reverse and 5th?) Anyway they felt wimpy and all the synchro springs were slightly under minimum length so I used hunks of spring from my Brownell's spring pack. Just lucked out Brownell's springs have the opposite spiral huh?:) Made 'inserts' for all nine synchro springs, the three detent springs and the reverse lockout spring too. That last one was just for the heck of it. Not sure, but figure it to be, one problem with slamming the gears apart was a damaged snap ring. 57mmx 2mm or 2+1/4' might work.
Front seal is a 35mm x50mm x8 Rear seal is a 50mm x65mm x8 Alvin in AZ. That old 'pink' VW rim looks like it needs a new paint job.
And, from my point of view, it did look like it was just sitting on the rim, not being held by it. I guess I was expecting to see something that would look like it could be mounted to a work bench and then, in some way hold the trans.
I MUST save some of these photos to show to the wife next time she complains about me working on something small in the house just to let her know how lucky she is that I don't rebuild transmissions on the living room floor!
