4 speed ka-booom !
^^^ Thank You AJ its just when I look at the new transmissions that Brewers performance they make it sound like they're doing something special to the countershaft in their advertisement. They're great and all, I'm going to buy my rebuilt kit from them and anything else that I need. I'm sure I'm going to put new shifter levers and some other things. maybe synchros if need be I need to finish taking it apart and getting things inspected. While I have you here I'd also like to ask about taking the synchro gears off. the manual stressed making sure all that went back together exactly the way it came out as far as the gears off the synchro it seems like or the slider I guess is what I'm saying. I had obviously the brass ring between the main shaft and the input shaft fall out as it seems to just hang in there and they were making a big thing in the book about making sure that stuff goes back in the way it came out. But I'm not sure it doesn't seem like they're saying anything more than to make it fit in those three grooves? I don't know if it has to fit in those three grooves the way it came out which is lost information now it just fell out.
I talked to dr.dif (cass) yesterday and he said if the ring gear and pinion have chewed off the teeth then I'm pretty toast. If one of the caps broke that Maybe something else. But it's looking like Dana 60. I let a friend come over and listen to the rear end and he just laughed and said it's toast.
