Trans shift fork shaft and plungers
Just a "heads up" on some repro parts.
I rebuilt the top of my transmission last week and used some very nice repro parts. During assembly I found out the hard way that the tip of the plungers had some left over machining that needed to be lightly ground off. No real damage to the shaft, I just ground off the extra. Now I have an extra way for lube to get in. I didn't notice this until I was pushing the shaft into the housing. I think the photo is self explanatory. -DAN |

Re: Trans shift fork shaft and plungers
The plunger shouldn't be touching that side of the shaft. They need to engage the notches on the other side, but it's good that you removed the little point left from machining.

Re: Trans shift fork shaft and plungers
Tom,
The little nub on the plunger will scratch any side of the second-high shaft equally. It really doesn't matter how the shaft is oriented as you install it into the case and through the fork. BTW, I did remove the first shaft I had installed and ground down the nub on the other plunger to avoid scratches between the detents on that shaft. I was amazed at how little of a nub it took to scratch the shaft. -DAN |
