Nice looking work, probably nicer than what needs to be done.
You gotta remember that by the time those points get that close to each other, the brass rings are supposed to have brought them to within a few rpm of eachother, so snick in it goes.
For a streeter;
The most important part of rebuilding the synchronizers regards the brass to brake interface. The brakes need to be roughed up a bit so the brass will "screw onto" them and bite hard; but when they have done that, they have to still be up high on the brake, so that you don't have to come back in a short time later, to replace them. If they sink to the bottom, they will be useless ...... if in fact the struts don't pop out first.
To that end, after the brakes have been deglazed, I grab second gear, the most used gear , and fit every brass I have onto it, in search of the highest sitting one that "screws" on. Don't be fooled with a hi-sitting brass ring; it could be bent. Make sure it screws on and bites with very little pressure applied. Line them on the bench from highest sitting to lowest sitting.
If I only have 4 rings to play with, I put the next tallest on the input, but not for the reason you might think.
as to roughing up the sliders, I chuck then in a lath and spin them up a lil,IDK maybe 500 rpm. Then take a strip of 180 emery-cloth laid over a file and take a couple of swipes on the brake, putting added pressure on the base up next to the teeth. Because that will be the unworn area. I don't want that area to "bell" my brass.
Now two of those gears run in opposite direction of the other two. If you accidentally bias them all the same then your brass will bite better in one direction than in the other. You can use that to your advantage..... or not.
What I mean is, in first gear, if you bias to the upshift, invariably it will work too well, and when stopped the brass will grab so hard that if the teeth don't line up, you will never get it into gear. So then you have to let the pedal up and start over. This might take several tries. So on first gear, I bias to the downshift side while all the gears are moving, and so getting down into first at speed is never a problem. And since the bite is less going in, I just wait a few micro-seconds for the brass to do it's job, then jam it in just before synchronization. That way , when leaving the carshow/event/ice-cream-parlor, I don't look like a fool.
But in Second I want that brass to bite hard so that the 1-2 shift is lightning! I don't much care if it is a lil slower downshifting into Second.
Third again I bias towards the upshift, and
since you never downshift into Fourth lol, it gets no bias at all.
so how do I bias it?
Well firstly the gear has to be spinning in the right direction. And secondly I told you to use 180 emery because it's nice and safe to use that. But if I had told you to use 100, and I'm not there to oversee you, you can wreck your gear with that grit . I don't mean wreck physically, I mean wreck the bite. And then if you put it together like that you might come to find out that it downshifts great! but won't upshift for nothing. Ok so that's the cautionary speech.
So now, I actually use 100 cloth. And with 100 it only takes a swipe or two, I can feel it on the paper. So to bias, on the final swipe, instead of lifting straight up at the end of the swipe, I just run the cloth off the side, which will make a slight "screw". BadaBoom!
Sorry for the novel; lemmee know which part is not helpful,
and maybe I'll delete it, lol.
