Taking down my SM465 for some rework during the Glucosamine project. The main complaint with it is leaking all over the clutch and a very resistant shift from 3-2.
It's been many a moon since I've been inside a manual tranny, but it's slowly coming back. Looks like I found the culprit for the sticky shifty. The dogs on 2nd are not too charp! And the synchro looks a little mushed over between the teeth (see pic with the arrow point to the mush). Other pics of 3rd and 4th in next post for comparison.
The question to the collective is:
Will a new synchro and some tooth dressing with a file make it workable? Or would you replace the gear?
I do have another tranny for parts that may have usable pieces. Haven't ever cracked the lid on it though.
