Getting ready to place an order for parts for my transmission rebuild and was looking for opinions on which of my synchro rings are good enough to flip.
In the picture the order they came out of the transmission is 1st, 2nd/3rd, 4th/5th. It's obvious that 1st is done. 3rd looks to me like I could reuse it, very little wear. What about 2 and 4/5? The coating on 2 is a little rounded at the peak. On 4/5 the moly coating is worn just past the half point of the peak. Would these be considered good enough to flip or should I replace them?

Thank you, great information and pics!
My spiders have slight wear which looks similar to the left side of your "bad" spider (mine look a little less worn than that). I do not see any unusual wear in the slots of the sliders. If there is only minor wear, couldn't you "flip" the spider since the torque and spin is always in the same direction on the shaft? Wouldn't that change the contact surface where the spider interfaces with the slider? |

Flip the slider as well and make sure that... 2. your dog teeth on both gears are worn symmetrically. Otherwise you're putting a worn surfaces next to a fresh/different ones. Makes for more metal in your fluid as the surfaces get used to each other. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
