Any idea where I may obtain these thrust washers for the reverse idler gear? Or will I be ok to reuse these? They are pretty chewed up.

Thank you kindly.

I am in the process of rebuilding my transmission. (3053 multi-fuel w/pto). I am reassembling the main shaft after cleaning all the parts and am drawing a blank. I am at the point where I need to put the synchronizer sleeve (pictured part: H) back on and the image in the TM shows it facing, what...

Should be public now, I hope.

Hmm don't know why. Maybe cause I posted on mobile. My apologies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr1Rtk3jTaU

I did a quick video covering the the key ingredients of of removing the transmission, since I have yet to see one or a write up of how to do it. I will try to do a write up if I have enough images to do so. If I forgot something please add to with a comment. I used my XJ's winch as my pulley...

Not the news I wanted to here but at least it's not stranded somewhere. I see eastern surplus has a rebuilt transmission for just under $2000 and some other places with used ones for about $700. If I'm replacing the transmission what other items should I replace while I'm in there?

Oh and thank you dieselbob for the TM reference.

Well I think I located the synchro that jeepsinker was referring to. Located toward the front on the transmission. It looks as though both sides teeth are pretty well shaved down. Also can someone explain how to replace it with out dropping or dismantling the trans according to the TM. I'd...

I got the cover off today, shift forks look fine. The teeth on 3 of the gears look pretty chewed up. I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at as far as functionality. The largest gear is chewed on both sides and the 2 smaller gears the it contacts below are slightly chewed too. Is it possible...

Well the good news is that most of the large items are already moved into my new place. I will have to use my pick up to do the rest including my tools. For now it's parked. Once I get my tools moved over I will peek inside her. I really hope it's a simple fix. I don't want to have to buy a...

Hello friends! I was driving home from moving into my new house. I came back unloaded thru the mountains and decided I would coast down the long steep grade rather than ride the trans down. Well I thought I was going slow enough to pop it back in to gear. Apparently I wasn't and it made a minor...

I just did mine with A3 wheels and 14R20 Michelin's. As for: I believe its 50ft/lbs for the inner a 200ft/lbs for the outer. I will also leave this here for others wanting guidelines for flipping hubs: http://www.xm381.com/xm381/How_To/Pages/Hub_Flip.html

When is the next one? I'd like to make it to one of these, unfortunately I work Saturdays.

Awesome thanks!
