Hi,

I had rebuilt the transmission my own because the synchro blocker rings were heavily damaged. Since the rebuilding I drove around 1000 mi. I had sometimes the problem that I couldn't engage 1st or reverse gear when the car stands. I know it is unsynchronized and I double cllutching is the Thing shift unsyncho gears. My suggestion was that the clutch is the problem. But it was ok to drive it.

Yesterday I had the problem that my transmission was stucked in 3rd speed. I couldn't get the 3 speed out. I opened the box and the sleeve had over shifted. The pre synchro insert had tilt, so that the sleeve can't be moved back to neutral or 2nd Speed.
A closer look shows the following issues

rear oil baffle worn and loose
0.05" -0.08" play of 2nd Speed and hub on mainshaft.
2nd speed trusth washer (between 2nd Speed and 1st speed) worn.

So what is the root cause of the Problem? Does anybody of you has an idea?

Thanks for your help

Michael
