What to look for in a transmission

Good time to change out the cluster and idler shafts for the O-Ring type. The throw out bearing and U-Joint are also good candidates for change if any wear is noted.

I have to change the throw out due to changing to the single disc clutch anyway.

I pulled the u-joint and it’s one of the early ones that’s riveted together. I didn’t take many pictures as it seemed in decent shape and I didn’t realize there were 2 designs.

Also just checked and everyone is out of u-joints …. So…. Anything in particular I should check for in assessing the one I have? Doesn’t seem like there’s much is any play or backlash in it but looking for guidance here.




Took the pictures because I noticed the lock washer was completely flat and off center.
