Help need Tamiya TU
 

I have T tamiya Tiger I with maybe the second generation trans unit, this trans unit has the brass extended shaft that secured to the main shaft by two 3mm grub screws. The question I have and I did not notice them until each unit was completely cleaned and I was returning the liquid into a holding container. There was a small flat thin washer each time that I did not see with all the grease as I separated each part for cleaning ,One shaft at a time.If some one could give me the were a bouts this washers belongs I will be grateful. I will post a picture later if needed @ this time I have the battery on charge. thank you

Here is an old picture to get you started.

Type 2 on the left, Type 1 on the Right. If no one else can help, I can dig a little deeper and take some more picts…..

Good luck.

If you have the brass final drive shaft extender it is a Type 1 as on the right of the photo. Unfortunately I no longer have an unmodified Type 1 nor a schematic of the trans. Hopefully someone on forum will have either a pristine transmission or the schematic.

Thank you for your reply the tu that I have is the one pictured on the right. I can't get the photos to post on this site sorry. but I can send them elsewhere.

Wayne, think I have an original set of those laying around somewhere. If I can get out to the shop I'll take a look for that spacer placement.

Looks like it goes right here...

I double checked by looking at a new set I'm getting ready to Fleabay. Yep, the only washer in there.

Kudos to KSOC for the great photo (which I used).

Just took a quick look and it looks like the 2nd nylon/brass gear back towards the motor from the output shaft has a spacer between the brass bushing and gearbox frame on the inside wall.

THANK YOU ALL now I can complete the rebuild.and put the Tiger back together, sea you on the 6th if weather permits Bret.
