Greetings from Munich!
I’ve purchased a new 2nd gear synchro and am planning on installing it with my mechanic/friend from SOCAL next week while he’s here for a working vacation. We’ve got a lot to do! Installing Mike Blizzard’s ( Hi Mike! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) ) 2.0 that he sold me back in March and a lot more. I cannot downshift into 2nd at high RPMs without grinding unless I rev match. Otherwise the tranny is good. Even 1st and reverse aren’t bad. We’re limited on time, but I am looking for some advice on this little job. Is there something else we should probably or certainly also do while we’ve got the tranny open? I don’t know what the 2nd gear looks like, condition-wise. Should I just replace it as well? Are there any seals / gaskets we definitely need to replace? I guess the main one for sure, of course, but any others? Any other advice regarding potential pitfalls would be much appreciated. How long should this replacement take?

installing a motor and rebuilding a transmission are both separately pretty big jobs....
you really need to focus on one for a day or two... before you start the 2nd one... not sure how many hours or days of mechanic help you have but I would only take on one job per a weekend if it were my car |
