I’m jealous of your speedometer gear sliding on. I cracked two of these damn things trying to put them on. Attempting my third this weekend.

Gotta be careful with them. Mine eventually cracked too. I honed out the new one until it slipped on there to prevent cracking.

You can make it a lot easier on yourself by building it with the bell house sitting flat and cutting a hole in the work bench for the input shaft to poke into. Watching you do it this way looked like a pane with all the gears sitting on the bell housing you can just remove the case. Building it on it side is way to hard, good job and good tips for the next one I rebuild

Yeah, the latest time around I spaced it up on some 2x4s and it was much easier to get assembled

I know much of nothing about my car and could use your help if at all possible

Hey, How you doing? Im Rob I live in California and I have a 2000 Gt. I barely bought it like maybe a year ago. I was wondering if you can get in contact with me cuz I want to possibly get this done with you and how much would you charge me to make my trans work better or just newer.

What car was this for? Also what symptoms and noises were you having? I got a 01 cobra with a 3650 and making all kinds of noises with only 95k miles was thinking to rebuild but not sure what is exactly wrong with it

I have it in my 85 Cutlass. Built my own adapters and I've been racing and street driving it for 4+ years. Was used when I got it and really haven't had problems with it beyond synchro wear. If yours is noisy I can only guess the bearings are out due to wear/lack of lubrication. I've beat the hell out of mine and it hasn't made a lot of noise. Bearings looked good when I took it apart

Bro why Yu didn’t show the hard part of getting the 5th gear off???

It's just a snap ring holding it in...same as the speedo gear. There's special pliers that make that snap ring easy to remove. Then two small pry-bars, one on each side of the gear (if you even need them) and it comes right off

I’d say the reason those bolts aren’t torquing right and breaking is because the size torque wrench you’re using not to mention the extension. Those need to be torqued using a smaller torque wrench like a 3/8 drive or one measured in inch pounds.

Probably not helping. However I don't mind going up to the higher grade for the same reasons you put higher grade fasteners in an engine

@@codysmithmotorsports736 Just keep in mind the original bolts are designed to break like that before they’ll strip the threads. The higher grade bolts may not be.

How big the press have to be to push the gear on ?

I have a 20 ton but it took nowhere near that to press any of them on. A 10 would be plenty IMO

Where did you get your replacement parts ?
