My syncros hate me.

so the synchros you need to find are:

-1/2 synchro
-3/4 synchro

usually the synchros for the higher gears last longer than the lower gears.

This information is totally and completly wrong.

Each gear has its own syncro setup.

1st and 2nd have 3 ring sets(inner, blocking, outer). 3, 4, 5, 6 have a single ring. Reverse has no syncros.

Pictures of my 5 speed transmission's internals for anyone thats interested.

We had it open to replace the 1st gear and 2nd gear syncros.

learn something new everyday.

thanks for sharing, Alan. i try to learn as much as i can from pictures. i guess the service manual pics don't get into much detail.

i'd be curious to know if the the FWD trannies have a single ring for 1 & 2, or if they also each have a set of three rings. i recall reading on TRE that the FWD trans has a double 1st gear synchro? i guess this would mean a set of two rings? dunno.

well thanks for sharing and correcting me. i do appreciate it, seriously.

they still share some parts.. between 1/2 and 3/4 just the hub though.. and If i am not mistaken on the 5 speed there is a syncro for reverse.. its the 6 speed that doesn't.. please feel free to correct me

also.. ALAN you need to come by more often.. I mean we all come visit you over there.. yet you hardly come and see us.. haha

the 1st and 2nd gear ring sets are identical(and available from northbendtech.com [email protected]) you just need one set per gear.

I think 3-4 might be the same too I Can't recall. 1-2 have the most wear issues 3-> seem to do alot better. kormex and jackstransmissions (jackstransmissions.com)seem to have the rings for 3 and up.
