How to Disassemble B13 transmission

I dont know if anyone has ever bothered with disassembling a B13 transmission. I know Coalition did a B15 trans, and its somewhat similar. I was "donated" a cracked transmission from fellow forum member Gee805 from when he cracked his trans at the line at the local dragstrip I had a spare tranny at my parents house with a blown LSD. So I took apart his transmission to steal his LSD and swap it into my otherwise good transmission. Disassembly is rather easy and should not take more than an hour to complete.

Tools needed:
10mm socket
12mm socket
snap ring pliers
a few flat head screwdrivers

First and foremost, we have the specimen..

Remove the top cover using a 10mm socket

Once the cover is removed, you will notice a snap ring that needs to be removed

 
We can now proceed to remove the 12mm bolts surrounding the bellhousing

The bellhousing is now ready to be separated, and this is what you will see. First thing, is to remove that rod that goes through the

Then remove the rod which holds the selector forks. It will pull right off, but be careful as there is a spring at the bottom that you dont want to lose.

Now, remove the gear selector mechanism held in place by three 10mm bolts

Next step is to remove the 3 bolt bracket located beneath the gear stack attached to the input shaft.

Once the three last bolts are removed, the gear stacks are ready to be removed simultaneously. Be careful with this because you dont want to damage any of the bearings and the rubber seal located on the bellhousing which seals the input shaft.

Now you will see this! The stock VLSD unit is just chillin there not attached to anything. Removing it is the easiest thing evar!!1!

This is the working LSD unit out of the cracked donor transmission that will be swapped over to my transmission.

Reassembly is pretty much the exact opposite of the disassembly.

This is a good thing for those of you who have a crap load of spare trannies laying around with miscellaneous problems. You can essentially build a good transmission out other busted ones. Its nice to have it as a spare just incase.

I know this write up isnt all that great, but i hope it somewhat helps anyone who is going to attempt to repair their own transmission
