This is a pic of my first gear slider. The dog teeth seem ok. What I am wondering about is the portion just rearward of the point. There seems to be some wear there. It could be machined that way I do not know. Should it be flat? Sorry for the bad description. It's difficult to describe. I know there are a few transmission gurus out there. Thanks

You asked for opinions.... So here goes....
In my opinion, I think there is a slight indentation in a new slider just as yours shows. As the slider compresses the "brake bands" they will "seat" in this indentation of the slider and help keep the slider engaged with the gearset. I don't think you are seeing wear on yours. From my experience, the wear point is the tips of the teeth (or points). As these become more rounded, it becomes less easy to select the gear. Another wear item is the "brake band" itself. New they have an as-cast surface and as they wear, they become smooth. The function of the "brake bands" are to match the speed of the gearset and the slider through friction between the slider and the "brake band". There you have my opinions. |
