Syntetics to deuce tranny? Not all synthetics are based the same and not all trannys are used the same way or worn to the same level. May be you can run synt. gear oil forever in your tranny and never have any problems... For being a typical truck tranny using common GL-1, I would say...

Cameron, thanks for the info. Sure it's a straight 3053 (no A)? Because yours is pretty much the same ratio as the 3053A. (25/46*42/29 = 0.7871) :? Still wondering what ratio houdel has in his gearbox. Gerhard

Welcome to this very best site, Cameron. As we always say: still learning! ...and trying to share knowledge if possible. So, if you would do us a big favor, mark input and output shafts and turn the input shaft 12 complete revs. while counting how many revs. the output shaft did. (If it was...

Better read this first before buying expensive lubricants! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=2858&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=synthetic+lubricants

I’ve seen this before. Seems to be a weak link in the 3053s. Incorrect or contaminated lubricant could be one of the reasons. In 5th overdrive at 2600 engine rpm the 2nd gear turns at 940 rpm on the main shaft which is doing 3300 !!! The result is a relative speed of 6.5m/sec (21ft/sec) between...

Lee: After loosening all injectors you can turn the engine by the fan. In 5th gear (TC in neutral!), turning the crankshaft 3 revs makes the output shaft turn 4, if your ratio is 0.75. Good luck and let us know!

Lee, I never had the chance to look inside a 3053 (no A). While open, one way to know the ratio is counting the teeth of the 4 above mentioned gears, another is mark and turn the output shaft exact 10 revs. and count the input shaft revs. 3052=10, 53A=7.9, 53=7.?? Have you noticed one of the...

Lance, normally our trannys don’t leak from the input shaft bearing cap, even w/o a seal. Have you checked the vent hole/valve on top of the cover? If to much pressure can build up, it could be the reason for leaking. TMC stands for Turner Mfg Co. They rebuilt who knows how many trannys under...
