I've been sitting on what I believe to be a good, used transmission. I got it from a friend who knows these cars VERY well, but that was a long time ago and I always like to verify these things (within reason) myself. I'm changing out my clutch and my box needs some work, so now is the time to do it. It's not the end of the world if I have to swap my old box back in...
I got new seals all around for it, but is there anything I can check other than shifting through the gears on the bench to validate the syncros aren't toast? I'd rather not pull the stack... Thanks. -Aaron |

First gear synchro is worn on the replacement box and it’s obviously been apart as both gaskets on either side of the intermediate plate are torn.
I guess this will be the box that I do my rebuild on…  |

Question is; do you trust the thickness of that gasket between the intermediate plate and case? That is your pinion depth adjustment... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) If the gasket is black or grey I would say "no". If its tan and there is at least 2 of them, then, "maybe". I think a 1st gear job was done there and does have some miles on it but looks better than most. Since the gasket got separated I would go ahead and pull out the guts and see if the shafts have been unbolted before. |
