EF SI Tranny REbuild gone wrong.....
I recently tried my hand at rebuilding an SI tranny with DX gears....
From what I understood the DX and SI gear sets were the same its just the final drive thats different...
Well I **** the 2 trannys apart.... and tried to just put the dx main shaft and countershaft in the SI but it wouldnt work...
So i ended up putting the SI counter shaft in with the DX main shaft.
i turned the shaft.. switched gears before i put it back in. Everything seemed fine.
I put it all togeather and put it in and IT wouldnt go into reverse.. YEs the reverse gear is in the right way... it was very sticky and then after.. i rolled it down the street it would drive... sorta in the gears so i pulled it back up the hill when it went Brrr ZZZ POP and nothing now... i could rev it prety high and try to shift and i get a grind. it wont go into any gear....
Any ideas....
is the issue that i mixed the dx main shaft with the si counter shaft?
The DX counter shaft just wouldnt go into the si bearing.... the SI one would slide right in...
