Default Re: Top loader 3 speed parts condition help

The book from Mac VanPelt is a good book and he supplies a lot of parts that I use on my rebuilds. Also, Mike from ThirdGen is another good source (and there are others). These transmissions are very simple - though quality of parts and tight clearances are really important. This is especially true if you don't like to have it "pop out of second gear" - which is an all too common problem. There were many a dirt track racer who had a "hook" on their dash - so they could push the gear lever behind it and hold it in second for the whole race.

All the things I mention above are necessary to prevent this issue. I for one can't stand having my trans pop out of second on deceleration - drives me nuts! LOL
