Thanks for the resources & info.Definitely replace the pawl. Cheap insurance for trouble free shifting, especially with that damage to the plate.
I did order a new pawl and will replace the old one.
Freeze the sleeve gear bearing overnight and heat the shell with the gun and it should slip in.
I did that last try, but I'll try again with the drift.
Also freeze the layshaft and heat the inner race of the roller bearing to install on the shaft prior to installing the shaft.
That kickstart shaft inner push is a bugger.
Good resources as well as the dvd:
Shimming the kicker shaft
Make sure the roller bearing inner race has its shoulder to the interior of the gearbox. The inner race should then be removable to install on the end of the layshaft.
Nick, please put me out of my misery. I've been racking my brains trying to identify the car in your picture. Judging by the chrome bumpers and over riders and what look like Lucas reflectors I'm guessing low volume British fibre glass sports car, but I cannot put my finger on which one. ( of course i am probably completely wrong)
WOW !! how wrong could I be. Thanks for that Dave, it's a beauty. Apparently it's a Fairlady. I have never seen of heard of them before. I thought Nissan's were only called Datsun in the U.K. though? As you say, one of variants is the spitting image of an MG-BShoot, that an easy one. Datsun Roadster.
Much like other things they copied from the British.
Funny, you are the 2nd member to ask about that. That photo was taken at the shop I was using at that time. That car was being worked on while I was there but I don't remember what it was. Seems Swooshdave has it nailed.
Thanks MichaelB. I switched to Redline because I found a lot of rust above the oil level inside the outer case during the revival. The redline does cover everything, but I agree it looks messy. Fortunately, nobody sees it when the covers are on.
True.We need @comnoz to do a gearbox oil test, is the higher drag and extra heat of the thicker oils worth the protection? I mean, when he has some free time.
I used to run normal 90w until my rebuild when I switched to Lightweight Shockproof. But after reading Jim's comments and doing some digging which found some conflicting reviews, I switched again and am now running Redline MT90 since it is GL-4.comnoz said:
I only used Redline Shockproof for a year. I don't remember what weight it was or even if there were different weights at that time. I would guess it was 15 years ago.
It did stop any migration of the oil down the input shaft, but when I found the bushing was loose and pulled it apart I found the outer bushings were dry and the shaft was blue from heat. I went back to ATF and have stayed with it since.
If it's good enough for the manual trans in this, it's good enough for me.
I asked the same question, fully expecting the answer to be early Italian... Lancia perhaps? Pretty wide of the mark here, too!
Actually, I tried that too. Didn't budge.
