Originality / Re: 67 Bowtie Mirror

« on: February 16, 2009, 08:40:25 PM »

I have the original mirror body from my ‘67 RS L30/M20  Norwood convert. It’s a plain mirror on the outside. On the inside (mirror glass is long gone) there is a small bowtie, the number 79413, a separate number 2, what looks like the letters NH run together, and two circles and two squares with some dots inside them. This help any? Cheers-  Pete

Well- I’ve talked with everyone in the local area about the clunk coming out of second, including the tranny guy again. He sez on last rebuild everything looked good and end play was ok and had installed a new second gear. Only other thoughts were that the new second gear was mislabeled/mismanufactured/incorrect or there is a problem with third gear as the tranny is coming out of second. Everyone sez they’ve never heard of this before- ‘tiz a puzzlement. Am holding off rebuilding the tranny again ‘til someone has a good idea what’s happening. Anybody???    cheers- pete

hi racer dan-  thanks for the tip; we're looking for any/all possibilities. i agree that something is being missed and i think the tranny guy thinks so also, although doesn't know what. i'll run this by him. he's still on the hook to make it right. anything else come to mind that could be causing this?  i'm located in the four corners region of colorado so assume i'm not close to you.  cheers-  pete

Hi guys- got shifter/rods adjusted to correct lengths; shifter works fine. Still have “clunk” coming out of second. Took back to tranny guy- sez noise is not normal, but doesn’t know what’s causing it. Offered to rebuild tranny again (3rd time). I told him that we shouldn’t do that unless we have a good idea what is causing the problem first. He had replaced all the synchros and second gear last time and said everything else looked good. Anybody heard of this problem before/have any ideas what’s causing this? anybody?? cheers- pete

hi guys-  i've had this on the restoration board, maybe it more appropriately belongs here- anybody have any suggestions?   Tranny- 4 speed Saginaw / shifter- Muncie. History- tranny rebuilt by mech due to worn synchros. Reinstalled and wouldn’t go into 3rd from 2nd sometimes. Otherwise worked good.  Mech and now tranny guy suspected something wrong with rebuild kit synchros. Tranny guy rebuilt again with new parts kit. Reinstalled and worked fine except made clunk or klink noise shifting out of 2nd at any speed. Tranny guy rebuilt again with new kit/different vendor; making sure was reassembled correctly. Parts that came out looked new. Reinstalled and made same noise coming out of 2nd (maybe more pronounced). Additionly, if shifted out of 2nd  at high speed now has whirring noise (something in tranny spinning??). mech and tranny guys not sure why this is happening. Assume the insides of the tranny are correct.  Am not sure how the mech adjusted the shift linkage- used pin to line up the neutral grooves in the shift sectors or used gage in the slot?  Does this make a difference- appears to line up either way?  Anybody seen this before / any suggestions?  Mech is willing to try most anything to fix.  Thanks- COflyer67
