Looks like it's already in the classics.. I guess that's your second (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Dunno who did it. Thanks guys, I really appreciate the positive feedback.
About the pics of syncros I was thinking of adding, I decided against it because it wouldn't really add anything that isn't covered by Red-Beard's article. Besides, I don't fully understand what goes on with those brake rings and stop blocks, etc. I don't want to mislead anyone with misinformation. |

First of all GREAT JOB and THANKS for the hard work........ but some of us are pretty uninformed about all this stuff. It is great seeing the insides of a tranny for the first time, but little arrows pointing to the parts mentioned in the text would be great, so we can learn without taking our tranny apart.
just my $0.02 thanks again! |

I thought about that but I don't have any arrow drawing software on my computer right now. I tried to do my best with the photos though, in most cases you can go to the previous pic and see what's different.

Bondo,
Great contribution. One day I will need this along with Red-Beard's tech article. Thanks to both of you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |

BTW, if anyone needs further explanations or pics, I'd be happy to do what I can.

Does anyone have info on where to get cheap trans bearings. I was going to replace all of mine while I had it apart but I could buy another junk car for what the new bearings cost.

You could do what I'm doing.. just replace the worn stuff with used stuff. not as good as new, but much cheaper. I'm selling off my extra stuff, so let me know if you go this route.

Wow. Your shop is way cleaner than mine, huh Mike....
Good job on the tranny. I used 2 vise grips to act like one of the special tools, to help prevent rotation. You put the two vise grips on the splined end of the input shaft, lining up the teeth with the splines. The Vise looks good as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Yeah, I tried the vice grip thing first, until I started shearing teeth off my vice grips (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (whatever the shaft is made of is HARD) None of them were as tight as that first one though, so the vice grip thing probably would have worked fine on the rest. Do you know how to decide how many shims are needed when assembling a transmission from parts? Also, do you know if there is any wrong way to install an H gear as 5th? That is my ultimate goal, and I don't want to screw it up, or change the laws of physics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The shims are used to line up the gears with the pinion shaft. The best thing is to _not_ change the gears. If you want to change the gear ratios, the easiest thing to do is to measure the gears you are replacing with a micrometer and then add or subtract shims to give you the same combined number.
