Update: Sorry it took so long. Last week, a trans came up for sale, and I snatched it up as well as a radiator. It took a couple of days to get there and back, then another couple to check the takeout and get it installed. Just finished installing the floor plates yesterday. It seemed fine...

I got the mainshaft taken down today. These are some seriously ugly pictures. As for 2nd and 3rd gears, the faces of bores don't look awful, but given the look of those sections of the mainshaft, those bores are trashed. Here's the critter that started this all put back together, sorta. All...

Got the snap ring for 5th off and got some pictures of the ring and thrust washer as well as front and rear pictures of the gear. The thrust surfaces look rough. I don't have access to a press yet, maybe Monday. Got two pictures of the area where the broken thrust washer was, looks real...

G: Thanks for the fork info, just checked and they're all running between .368 and .373. I've gotten the shaft out and pulled it down to where I need the press. The input shaft looks a little worn but the synchro dogs are not terribly misshapen. Each shot is 120deg from the other. Some...

Got it in the driveway and pulled the top off. Found some wear on the forks, but doesn't seem awful. Checked the synchronizers and found that they look pretty worn The gears themselves look ok in that they don't seem excessively worn, although they do have some rust. Maybe there was some...

@clinto Well, crap! Another cherished assumption shot down by facts and logic! But still, ain't she purty? I believe that a lady friend of yours got me that cargo cover a couple of years ago. A big thanks to Dawn Crook for a smokin' hot deal! It may be a little mis-matched, but it helps it...

Just checked for play at the output shaft and there was none, neither axial or radial. Thanks. Did get the numbers off of the tag, so I'll be contacting NAPA soon. Want to check the TM first to see what stuff there is and its proper name. Regardless of its being 51 years old, the truck is in...

Thanks for the responses. I will be checking for that axial play today. I checked with my buddy at NAPA today and he's got a guy. He worked for Spicer or Eaton and still has the contacts, etc. He said to pull the serial # off of the tag and call back to check for pricing. If it pans out...

Hey everyone, From what I've been able to search out, it seems that the problem is due to worn synchronizers. I'm a little confused though because this is out of the blue, I haven't had any problems with those gears at all. No grinding during shifts or pop-outs before and now it's happening...
