MackMack613 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 just curious to know why the input shaft sticks out at least 8 inches forward of the of the round casing. This came out of a 93 DM690, supposedly has 50-60k original miles. I have a picture of but it will not load. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51897-t2080-input-shaft/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 If you are describing the front cover, that is normal. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51897-t2080-input-shaft/#findComment-386900 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackMack613 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Update: I did find out that the long input shaft was indeed correct for the truck it came out of. It did have a flywheel mounted PTO. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51897-t2080-input-shaft/#findComment-387084 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the shaft I need to install. How hard of a job is it to do? Been told by a shop takes bout an hour Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51897-t2080-input-shaft/#findComment-387085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Yes about an hour or so if you've done one before. I haven't done one in years but it all comes out from the front. Input shaft cover, a snap ring, bearing and second snap ring as I recall. I think there was also a bearing on the main shaft the Input shaft goes on. Need a seal and gasket for the cover and lock tight the bolts. Personally for the hour labor I would let a tranny shop do it while you wait.
