Now I don't want the "15 minute Oil Cooler Seal" Replacement Hoax (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
I have a grindy going into second gear and that is it. The gates are tight everywhere, linkage is great, bushings seem fine. How difficult is it to go into the tranny and update some worn bits? As a frame of reference, I have taken the engine out, did some fuel line and injector stuff, oil cooler seals, valve adjustments, exhaust and heating stuff...minor yet somewhat brave for a newbie. I have no problems spending cash, but I would love to give this a go if it is do-able. Please help me decide --> is it something I should do or farm out??? Cheers T |

According to Red Beards article - "All Dogteeth are the same for all gears. All Synchro bands are the same for all gears. So, why do 1st gear dogteeth cost less in the catalog? The dogteeth come with brake bands, the little guys that sit under the circlip. 2nd-5th gears need to be synchronized in both directions (Spinning the gear faster and spinning the gear slower – i.e. up-shifting and downshifting)."
I this accurate - are all dog teeth and syncros are the same ? Also 5th would not need to be syncronized for up shift - just like 1st not need to sync for downshift - so neither would need two brake bands? Jim |
