I just did mine this year.
Take off the exhaust, leave the engine blocked up and just pull the tranny. It's easy and in less than 2 hours you have the whole tranny on the bench. The tranny was light enough that I just "bench pressed" it back into place when I reinstalled it.
Make sure its a large enough and clean bench. Take apart the tranny piece by piece (Haynes manual helps a bit) and change all you seals and gaskets at the same time. Don't try fixing leaks now then take it apart later for the syncros.
Note - depending on how many mile/year you drive, you may get away with just flipping over the old syncro instead of buying new ones. I bought 2 new ones but flipped 3rd one over as the factory manual suggests.
Email me if you want more details. It was a bit un-nerving at first taking it all apart but soon you realize it can only go back together one way.
Ps if you're going to do it yourself you will need a good set of snap ring pliers.


Ok Doug. I'll call on you for details .

I agree I'm going in for leaks so at least I can freshen up the 1st and 2nd synchros and learn something.

Two hours to yank is not bad. I already have the muffer off anyway.

These work VERY well for this job: External snap ring pliers

I broke several "normal sized" ones before getting these, and it's like night and day.


Thanks for the suggestion. I bought them pliers.

Does anyone have a gear pulling tool I can borrow?

Thanks!

So, since I have my car up and muffler off and annoying seeping leaks that need to be fixed I thought since I'm in there I might as well freshen up the 1st and 2nd synchros.

I have spend a good many hours adjusting the shift linkage etc but couldn't dial out the grind.

Gear oil is pretty new and is Swepco. I'll change that too so it's new.

I'm getting the gasket set to replace the older seals too.

I'll be using Jame's article and Bondo's classic thread as guides.

I'll be starting next weekend.

Any other tools I neeed?

Ok, just to follow up.

I've finished with the tranny fixes.

Last Friday I pulled the tranny.

Saturday I put in fresh 1st and 2nd gear synchros as they were getting tired. The second gear synchro was causing the grinding as it has no tension left in it and I replaced the 1st gear synchro since it gets used the most and only a bit of it gets hit so out it came for good measure. It was showing wear too.

All the gears and dogs teeth look fine so I fixed the issue before any expensive damage was done.

Also, there were NO gaskets on the intermediate plate, no shims either, just white goop

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) in place of where gaskets should be.

That was the reason I had a tranny oil weeping problem.

Put in gaskets from the kit and the middle sized shim on the case side. That should to the trick.

Also replace speedo angle drive because it was leaking too, POS! Also, the O-ring.

Replaced input shaft seal too as a precaution, the old one was kind a hard and inflexible.

Put all together and dumped in some fresh tranny fluid, looks a lot nicer than the olden stuff, and put it back in the car Saturday night.

Didn't take to long and my car is back up and running with no leaks in the tranny dept and shifts awesomely now.

I got to regrease everything associated with tranny pulling like the shift linkage and throttle pully. Also, repacked my CV's with fresh grease and slapped on some new gaskets.

Everything looks pretty now down there.

Thanks for all the tips and ideas!!

Nope, no whining at all. No leaks and quiet as a mouse.
