just got the m2f4 back to gether after inspecting the 5th gear syncros and such (witch it needs)

noe after putting it back together i was spining the main shaft by hand and just going through the gears .....when i put it in 5th and put some torque to it it slips unles i have the gear selector held in .....what have a i done wrong ...there was a clip broken in peices and im still tying to find out where it went but i have to wait for the pics to get to me

i bought the tranny knowing there was the 5th gear grind but it didnt do this before i took it apart, i didnt take the main or counter shaft out just puled the case off and thats it

thanks in advance

 

well guys its way worse then i thought
i knew 5th gear needed to be replaced due to the 5th gear grind problem ...so heres how it went

the clip was the 5th gear syncro spring (goes in between hub abd syncro ring)it hols the ring in the right spot ..so that broke and the ring drop a bit and 5th gear was only in the syncro hub about 1/4 of the way ....you can guess what happened after that ...there is nothing left of the 5th gear syncro hub and that why 5th was skipping even by hand ..not a big deal cause what i was going to replce would have been all that anyway

but, got looking into the rest and it turns out 3rd gear dog teeth are toast aswell as the 3rd/4th syncro sleeve is on its way out and 3rd and 4th syncro rings are done too ...all the hubs seem to be fine

2nd gear dog teeth are also gone as well as the ring and sleeve ...so all in all i paid 250 bucks canadian for a garbage tranny and al the guy says is it shifted smooth except for 5th ....so i hope i can salvage the gears and just replace the syncro rings and sleeves..i cant afford 1000 (canadian)dollar rebuild even though im doing it my self

all in all pretty shitty night ...was hoping to have a car next week or two but i guess it will be a few months now

 

man, sorry to hear that. good luck man!
