833 OD sticking in 4th, chipped synchro
It's hard to tell but, it appears that the energizer spring is out of place; it belongs underneath the strut.
If it is not out of place then I would suspect it is broken. The strut is supposed to have a small lip on the end that pushes the brass, to keep the spring under it. But when the strut pops out while working, the spring is free to wander around.
Yes, with a small screwdriver, or a sharp pic, you can push the spring back under the strut.
But the thing is this;
those springs have a hook on one end that that indexes into the back of any strut. And NO strut should have two springs indexed to it. So right now, you have no idea where the hooks are, and if they are not where they belong, then they are free to rotate out of place and that leaves you in the same predicament, down the road.... again.
So you gotta go find the hooks and make sure that they are properly engaged in the back cavity/ near full-length trough, of the struts.
Ima thinking the spring that is under the slider in this pic, is out of place.
So pop it underbearh making sure the spring is under it , and I think it is, move the slider over to the other side, then go look for the spring.
Remember. with the cover on, the slider only just engages the clutch teeth I'll guess a fat 1/8th inch, so only move the slider over far enough to perform this operation.. ....... else the struts will all pop out again. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do, and pop them all out to go find the hooks.
Happy Hunting
