My transmission is reported to have a broken 1st gear. Not uncommon.
I've taken one pass through the EvilWerks videos (I bought the series) and as best as my memory can provide - the 1st and reverse gears are under the outer cover and not nested inside with the rest of the gear clusters. So, here's the question: If the damage is limited to just those components can one do a diagnosis and repair without cracking open the whole gearbox? Obviously if upon inspection things like synchros, etc are worn I'm all in, but this trans is reported to be sound other than the broken 1st, but yeah, race car... Any transmission repair advice welcomed. Thx. |

Well... I tore it apart today with the help of a local expert.
Bit of a mess. Not LSD but welded diff, very odd gear ratios ( A, HA, M, S, V ), which explains some other things, namely over revving. One little bit of good news is it has a 904 main shaft. I'm working on a parts list now which I'll post here when it's complete. Meanwhile taking suggestions on sources. Aware of Dr. Evil and CA motorsports, but welcome to other suggestions. |
