Transmission problems

[bonespec]

debris inside the shaft will cause the bearings to not get oiled, and turn blue.

Every wonder where all the little pieces of plastic from a bad input shaft bearing go????






I always ask for pictures on the problem tranny........what can I say, I like tranny porn.

It's just I'll see little issues others don't......

Blueing is from heat and lack of oil. Usually 4th and 5th gear on the mainshaft.

I'll send pictures when I get down. I know the oil problem first hand as i put main shaft bearing in upside down on main shaft and fried 4/5 after 2 laps.

Well we pulled the tranny and noticed a slight miss alignment of the pressure plate to the clutch disc and throw-out bearing. The throw-out bearing is hitting the fingers offset by about 1/8 to 1/4". If you look at the clutch disc and pilot bearing and pressure plate fingers the fingers are not centered with disc and and pilot bearing. IS it possible the clutch was dissengaging evenly?

Actually this problem occured when we put the new clutch and pressure plate in along with the the tranny work?
