Where to get trans rebuild stuff

So I went to the search section and I could not find anything on a t-14 rebuild. I need an overhaul kit for a T14 A -1. Where is the best place to get a good quality kit?

 

go to Novak adapters, and get their phone number, seems the page for the T-14 is pending

 

Herm is another alternative: www.hermtheoverdriveguy.com

I'd avoid the cheap import parts sold by most Jeep specialty suppliers.

 

Ditto what TIM said. I got my rebuilt kit including bearings and syncro rings from HERM aslo picked up trans case parts,e brake,ebrake cable,tie rod ends,pitman arm,and a lot of other stuff.good quality parts.

Tim,
Just curious , but what is Herm or Novak doing different than other jeep supply houses?

 

Well, I'm not the best guy to ask ablut this. I'm sure that Herm could tell you a lot about the parts he chooses and the import kits. I don't know the piece by piece specifics, but both companies claim that they choose high quality components to put together their kits. I've only used parts from dealership stock, but those are long gone.

A kit contains blocking rings (synchro rings), needle bearings, thrust washers, spacers, gasket, seal, snap rings, and input and output bearings. On T-90s, 2nd gear is sometimes replaced if the internal bushing is worn out - maybe that's available for the T-14 too.

The most obvious difference will be in the quality of the input and output bearings. You can buy top quality bearings or you can use cheap imports. Same thing probably applies to the rest of the components. A lot of these parts are generic and have many different applications. I expect you can buy needles made to a spec, in sufficient quantity. Stuff like blocking rings and thrust washers may be Omix or Crown parts. Call Herm and ask him ...

 

Thanks guys. I will be on the phone in the morning. I will get the tranny back in order.

 

wow, herm's does have the the choices doesn't he, nice site and a killer guy to talk to

 

Herm told me he has has a rockwell tester and checks his hard parts with it to insure quality. When we talked he told me of the junk that's being imported. I would trust Herm.

 

I have just had a nice conversation with Herm, I love his attitude, I think he is giong get a few thou of m business as I get Salley ready for atrail machineb\ ad get Ethel rebuilt for DD service
