As I was cleaning up the pool of nastiness oozing all over my floor from a tail shifter someone dropped off as a parts donor [it was supposed to have been drained (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ], I started to get the feeling that this was going to be an interesting autopsy. I was not disappointed.
Among the things I found: - Missing detent balls - that is why it was hard to shift it into gears and have it stay - Broken <-- large thrust washer. Not sure how this happened. Fricken amazing. - 4/5th slider completely toothless! Unheard of. - All synchro bands but 5th were shiny and trashed - Castellated nut on 1st was hand tight after roll pin was removed All the damn work it took to cannibalize this damn gear box and what was I able to salvage? Two intermediate plate bearings, one set of dog teeth and one synchro band. Almost not worth it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Disgusting, hateful things. |
