Re: TRANS GURUS PLEASE GET IN HERE, NEED OPINIONS!
What do you mean "toasted"? Is it more than just coming out in pieces?
Well, replace the case. If you still have issues after replacing the case, it's time to replace the assembler. There are so many factors in this issue at this point, things that could have happened, and work that could have been done incorrectly (not saying it was yet) that it's almost impossible for any of us to know the issue 100% without the trans in front of us to diagnose ourselves.

I feel your pain I just did the same thing. Auto jack shaft broke diff all of It. I replaced all damaged bearings and diff. Got it all together and input shaft would not turn.
After tear down after tear down I finally took it the the tranny shop my work uses and I'm getting it back today good as new. Lesson learned don't force a jack shaft and leave the transmissions to the pros.

I've actually had this happen building transmissions. Not all of the differential pockets in the b series bell housings are the same dimensions and some diffs will hang up in the pocket but its near impossible to see with the ring gear on. The fix is as simple as taking a die grinder to the areas that need more clearance.

Half shaft, intermediate shaft, jack shaft all are acceptable synonyms.

Dropped case off Monday. JUST got it back today. BUT all seems well. No binding at all. Installing tomorrow after work so I don't have to rush anything. Then hopefully doing a calm drive to test everything before melting my tires and living up to my screen name.
Hopefully the saga of the GS-R from hell is over. If not... I'M fixing this ****** myself LOL.

Everything is well. Install went smooth as silk. Broke an axle on the first drive but that was me being a douch downshifting to second and HAMMERING it. Sixty dollars and a new beefier axle later and all is well. THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED ME FIGURE THIS **** OUT! ! !

you already snapped an axel? On a sttock motor?
You either can't drive worth ****.
Or something else is wrong.
Still on my first set of axels from 5 or 7 years ago.
350whp. With slicks never snapped an axel 3rd gear burnouts.

Re: TRANS GURUS PLEASE GET IN HERE, NEED OPINIONS!
How did you fix this ? I'm having the exact same issue.
98 spec itr with stock lsd. All new bearings synchros sleeves
It goes in all gear has a slight catchy bind in certain spots when rotating and obviously has a knocking noise neutral and in gear.
The case went down all the way before any bolts put in
Only thing diff shims were at 0 clearance couldn't fit a feeler gauge in. Please help I

Re: TRANS GURUS PLEASE GET IN HERE, NEED OPINIONS!
You are correct I didn't remove the shim. This was just an oem rebuild with synchrotech carbons and their other parts and bearings.
No other parts added or changed. I shouldn't have to adjust shims I would think but I was wanting to put a feeler gauge in like the oem manual states. And oem spec Says. 0 - .004.
So since it was zero I assumed good.

While you have it open and pulled it might be best to check the mainshaft, countershaft, and differential clearance. It won't hurt anything.

Except the one time I ripped the end off then .003" one....

Its baffling because it goes into every gear nicely it just has a catch every rotation of the drive shaft..
could out of clearance diff bearings cause this? I was thinking maybe the lsd was messed up but I didn't notice anything because I didn't open I guess..

I just don't understand why the diff would be outta spec... I changed diff bearings to the exact same offset bearings..

Re: TRANS GURUS PLEASE GET IN HERE, NEED OPINIONS!
I came across one of your old post where u said to place mainshaft into the outer case with the shim and flat washer on the end. Did that and measured the air gap clearance had around .009-0.01
Now I did another experiment and removed the angled spring washer reinstalled everything. Of course had a lot of slop with the shaft. But guess what no bind.
I did replace 3rd gear engagement teeth too. So could have changed clearance.
