don't fall for that! that is old incorrect information that has been around for a long time. ALL 3053 spicer trans in mil trucks are the same ratio regardless of the letters at the end. .78 is the ONLY 5th gear ratio.

as cheap as the gears are, i would not use pitted teeth.

just pull the top and inspect it first so you don't get one that is worse.

wow. that is just flat out abuse! how is 1st/rev slider? and all the metal that has gone thru the bearings? the counter shaft is usually about $300, less for used.

if it will downshift into 2nd at 5 mph smoothly it is probably ok

if you mean at a complete stop, sometimes it won't go into 2nd, yes that is completely normal. just release the clutch slightly while pulling it into 2nd and it will go right in. takes just a little practice to not let the clutch out too far. tom

$750 is too much unless it comes with a real good wtty.

the gear you show is 5th and is bad. the rollers you show, there are 14 of them, and it is completely normal for them to fall out, it is the only way when you take it apart. i suspect you need many other parts but the only way you will know is to have someone familiar with the trans inspect each...

it 'could' easily require 100 to 125 lbs pull on the end of a 4 ft bar, maybe even more. with the top off put it in 2 gears at once to lock it. tom

g. yes the input does not look that bad in picture, but i would like to see it in person to see how parallel the sides are and the condition of the roller race. i discussed that with joe as he is near me, maybe 20 miles?, and i have the bearings etc and can also examine all the other parts so...

what you are calling 4th is really 5th. they seem to be very cheap compared to the rest of the gears. the last new one i got was $56 i may still have some new ones if you want call me. tom

i have some good used hubs, but mainshafts are pretty cheap, you might just as well get a new one. all the shafts i have are for the overdrive upgrade so will not fit your trans. the shifter moving in 5th is normal. there is a feature on the mainshaft that keeps it from comming out of gear in...

you will almost certainly need a new mainshaft and the 2-3 hub. it is a press fit and without that the keys will fail again.

was the snap ring for 5th gear ok? why did the syncro fail? tom
