[C38] 5424 Transmission model

[Bill King]

Max,

I replaced mine two years ago with a new Hurth HBW100 1.79:1 ratio.  I have an 84 C38 Hull #278 with the same engine/trans setup as you.  
The trans is bolted to the bellhousing from the inside, so you have to remove the bellhousing before you can unbolt the trans.  It helps alot not to have the hot water heater in the way.  The bellhousing/trans assmbly does come out through the port cockpit locker in one piece.  
Be sure to replace the drive plate at the same time.  It's the part attached to the flywheel.  Prices in October of 2004 were $1030.00 for the new trans and $85.00 for the drive plate.  I used Marine Engine & Repair, Inc. in Seattle, Washington.  The website is www.merequipment.com
Phone is 1.800.777.0714     
They were great to deal with.  Best price anywhere in the U.S. and they were very helpful on the phone.  

Hope this helps some,

  Hi everybody, 

  The list has been very quiet lately!!

  I'm planning to pull out my transmission this weekend. Im going to try to rebuilt it.
  The tag is gone so I'm not sure which model is it. I have a 1982 24hp Universal 5424 with a HURTH tranmission.
  The manual says is a HBW 10, but I heard that is really a HBW 100.

  Do any of you guys with this engines know the right model??
  I know the ratio is supposed to be 2:1, but is really 1.85:1. I'm I right??

  I'll appreciate your help.
