Maintenance / tranny/shifter help- update

« on: August 01, 2008, 08:59:55 PM »

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

Maintenance / tranny/shifter help

« on: June 27, 2008, 03:01:47 PM »

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
