T-10 side cover 58

[Brad H.]

How difficult is it to take off the side cover and then put it back on, any one with a 58 side cover? Thanks, Brad.

VERY easy. Have a new gasket ready, though.

Brad -

Put it in second gear first so the 1-2 shift fork clears the opening in the case coming out and going back in.

This is not, I hope after the bolt's are out the plate sproings out with pieces flying everywhere and have to pull tranny to put back together, is anything fastened on the back side to be concerned about? wouldnt want that 60 powerglide problem that was just on the hotline. Thanks guys, Brad

Nothing will "spring out" when the bolts and cover are removed. On the rear of the cover are the shifter shafts and the shifter forks as well as a detent mechanism with spring. These can be easily removed from the cover and easily re-installed. Check the forks; they often show considerable wear and, if so, require replacement.
