Taking a break on the turbo system design
HERE and tacking the trans rebuild.
After draining $100 worth of Swepco out, I tore everything down tonight and found the pinion bearing spinning in the case and both bearing races spinning in the gear housing. Crap.
Also, this trans shifted terribly, lots of grinding and 2nd and 3rd. On inspection I don’t see crazy wear on the dog teeth but they are not razor sharp either. The synchro bands show some wear but they still mostly have their texture.
The engine is going to get a turbo so I will be using a Wevo side cover and CMS bearing plate to add a little strength.
A couple of questions if anyone has thoughts:
- Thinking I’ll go to CMS to get the case machined. They seem to have a good reputation. Honestly, if I’m sending it there I might just have them do the entire rebuild.
- Does Carquip in Boulder do machine work? Seems like maybe they are only parts now. Any other good places to get the case work done?
- Any experience with particular brand replacement parts (synchro and dog teeth)?
- What do worn dog teeth look like? How rounded is too rounded?
