Reverse friggin works now.So all I really did was add ONE more aluminum washer (total of two, I can measure the thickness if anyone is interested) to the restrict ball assembly bolt that is on the top of the case under the ends of the shifter cables when the trans is in the car. Reverse now...
Should fit good if you leave the oil guide out, that hole is pretty large and in the right place to check the reverse idler, the smaller oil guide hole might be big enough to check the shifting stuff.
I was considering drilling and tapping holes in certain places so I can fit a scope in to see, then just plug it when i'm done. I do have a second trans I can sacrifice parts of to make larger inspection holes if needed too. I had two extra trans, one had sheared teeth enough to ruin parts of...
I have a suspicion that the improperly adjusted clutch caused the wear to the idler gear due to incomplete disengagement, eventually leading to the idler gear's reduced engagement not holding and popping out.So hopefully the increased idler travel/engagement and a properly adjusted clutch will...
I'm not going to rule out motor mounts, other than it has to also be something else because removing the shifter cables and manually shifting into reverse and starting the car it still pops out.
Thus you understand my plight. No marks on the bellhousing, bolts on the reverse lever tight, arm straight as far as I can tell. One washer on reverse switch, same for the restrict ball bolt but I will be trying it with one and two more once its back in the car just to see.I will break down...
Yup the plastic shoe was new when the trans was rebuilt and is not worn yet. It fits without much play. When the transmission is in the car all hooked up shifting into reverse feels like its gone fully into gear. The shifter moves as far back in reverse as 4th and 2nd gear. It feels right and...
Finally made some actual progress.Transmission is on my bench with the end case and intermediate plate sections off. It is resting on the bellhousing side so gravity is helping reverse fall into place. If I shift into reverse while watching reverse from above it doesn't fully mesh. Probably...
Yeah it's starting to drive me a bit crazy.Turns out I do have clutch drag at around 6200RPM. Clutch fork was positioned to the left of center, so I pulled the trans again to check my flywheel step height and take a closer look at my fork and pivot ball. I may toss a single washer shim on it...
Problem: reverse gear pops out under load. If you baby it and feather the clutch it will reverse SLOWLY on flat land. Attempting to back up an incline of any sort causes the gear to pop out and grind. Stopping and not touching the shifter causes it to go back into reverse following the same...
