Re: W56 Rebuild Question??

Thanks for the reply's guys.  The lockout on 6th gear, now that's a GOOD idea :yesnod:

Wayne, I wish you were closer too.  I could use the adult supervision :greengrin:   I was at $5,000 when I stopped counting on this project, but I don't want to run things up unnecessarily either.  I tore the case apart, and everything looks and feels ok.  All the gears turn freely until I put it in reverse, the 5th syncro is operating normally and not binding, it looks fine to me inside, just tough to turn once you put it in reverse gear.  With going through the counter gear though, and them not being helical cut gears, maybe that is "right".  For giggles, I went into the barn and tried the same thing on a Samurai tranny today, and it was tough to turn in reverse too.

Anyway, any more words of wisdom are welcome.
