I'm gathering all the bits for the sideshifter. I can't decide if I want to use the one on the floor or get it rebuilt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Sean,
I just dismantled two trannys this weekend. I'm pulling some syncros and a 5th gear to swap with my 3rd. If you need some side shifter parts they are yours for the asking. |

Sean, do you think your geometry was off? Maybe 911 swivel foots this time.

Answers to a few of your questions:
The round thing that came off the top of the spring is called a retainer. There were two "keepers" (that you found one of) that pulled through the retainer. You need to find the other one (at least it is steel - get a magnet). The piston does not look too bad (from the dark pics) - you can probably deburr and reuse it, but the rust on the cylinders may have taken away that option (hard to tell how bad it is from the pics). The mark on the pushrod could be from hitting the pushrod tube or the pushrod tube spring retainer. The mark is shorter than the total amount the pushrod would move from cam lift, so I'm a little confused about that. Technically, you did not "drop" a valve, you bent a valve. Just to minimize confusion. |

Thanks James.
The dent in the piston is a little worse than the pics show. At the very top it's removed/smashed a bit of material. If I'm going to the extent of tearing it down this far they are gonna get replaced. The rust is superficial surface rust, wipes away with my finger. The pushrod thing is bizarre. I just don't get it. I'm gonna replace the tubes and maybe that one pushrod. |
