I'm thinking I might need to replace my second gear syncro because once my tranny warms up, if I shift to fast (normal speed) I grind into second. Since I'm going to fix my leaks I thought I'd just replace the syncro if that's what it might be. Any opions? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

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. |
