[Supras] spare trans

Jim:

Please let me know what you have with gears in decent condition.  With 
your experience I'm sure you know this, but things to look for are 
indentations in synchro ridge cones, tooth wear or pitting, and pitting 
where roller or needle bearings are, in the back of the clutch gear and 
in the cluster gear where the needle bearings are.  Ridges in the 
synchro cone ridges will cause gear change grinding because the synchro 
ring ridges will not cut through the oil film, and cause gear grinding 
during shifting.  One other place to look for pitting wear is on the 
cluster gear shaft.  The triangular synchro engagement projections on 
each sliding gear should be reasonable as well.  A complete rebuild 
should include bearings, synchro rings, rear seal, needle bearings and 
rollers for the cluster and the recess in the clutch gear. Sometimes the 
circular wire energizing springs for the synchros are also included.  
Unless shifted by a gorilla, shift rails and forks should generally be OK. 


So lemme know what you have.  Take care, and have a good new year.


Bernie
