Well, I have been busy rebuilding a transmisson and went ahead with flipping 5th and 3rd gears for AXing. It's been interesting to say the least but not too hard. Here is a shot of the assembled gear stacks.

In my case I think the bearing in the intermediate plate are bad from drying out. There was "only" 35K on this tranny as the car was driven only rarely before it got T-boned. So its quiet possible that it ran out of oil long ago because its alwasy made noise.
The red arrows point to the location of the bearings that I replaced on the rebuilt tranny. There should be very little movement in the shaft, up/down,side to side. back and forth. The tranny I just pulled, the pilot shaft moved about a half inch up/down causing the pilot shaft seal to fail and leak tons of oil. Ok Eric, some sparkles are going to be present in the oil just from the gears grinding, etc. Syncho's shouldn't make alot of particles as they are a brake but the oil keeps them lubed. They don't mash against anything, they rub. Dog teeth and sliders can make metal flakes if the synchos are failing and the dog teeth and grinding when you shift. I would look at the magnetic drain plug for lots of metal. If there is lots of metal attached to the plug that is not good. Do your gears grind when you shift? I never have driven your car yet to see how it drives. Geoff Attached image(s) |
