found out what happened to 5th gear

Posted

So, I finally got around to taking my old tranny out, and took the 5th gear cover off to see what had actually happened...this is what I found...good thing I bought a brand new trans instead of just seeing what I needed to replace in 5th gear...

Mike while I'm not ruling that out as a possibility, I'm more inclined to think the damage started when 3 out of 4 trans bolts backed out of the transmission, and the last one was loose...I think the play from that driving for about a week or so (who knows...I didn't look until I had some weird symptoms of the trans not shifting right and a clunk) may have cause the pilot bearing to waller out, allowing the input shaft room to flex where it shouldn't have...its possible the main shaft went before 5th gear(maybe not) but considering 5th is at the opposite end, it would get the most amount of play due to physics, potentially creating the destruction pictures...again, who knows, but that's my theory right now.
