Re: No reverse BW R-10

If I quit learning something new on this old stuff then I'd be dead. A person may never see all the different things that can happen in one lifetime.

Re: No reverse BW R-10

It does look like the two shafts aren't parallel to each other. They have to be for the rail to move properly. As I mentioned before, they made a lot of different shift rails on a similar pattern but...

Re: No reverse BW R-10

The spring mechanism on the shift rail allows the rail to push the fork & gear up to the planet carrier and then spring loads it against there until there is an alignment of the splines where the sun...

Re: No reverse BW R-10

There are different output shaft lengths and different tail shaft lengths and that's why I mentioned making sure of what you have. The R10 overdrives were used on several different transmissions by...

Re: No reverse BW R-10

There are some clusters that have the first two gears correct tooth count but they have a different reverse tooth count. Yours should be the post 51 type transmission. They use all different gears...

Re: No reverse BW R-10

Are you sure that the reverse idler gear is inside the transmission? Make sure of that and make sure the shift rail isn't stuck all the way to the rear. Well nix that idea since it would make it work...

Re: No reverse BW R-10

I don't have your diagram so I have to use nomenclature. First you have to be certain that the shift rail is moving all the way back and all the way forward. I don't know if it will fit in the...

Re: No reverse BW R-10

The normal lock out for reverse is performed inside the transmission gear section. The 1st reverse shift arm mechanism actuates an arm inside there that pushes against the shift rail where it...
