Mike, being from the frozen North, you would appreciate this. Here I was stationed in Wisconsin after living in far more temperate climes all my life. Busted the cross shafts in the front diff of my old Scout. I unlocked the hubs and got it home, but I had an unheated garage and it never got up to zero (F) that week. Pulled the cover off the diff and had my first inkling of trouble - the gear oil didn't even try to run out. I stuck my hand in that goo to pull the pieces out and I don't think I have ever felt anything as painful as that sub-zero gear oil! I doubt that what doesn't drain out will cause any problem. The only way I know to get it all out is to crack the case and that still leaves a little bit coating the gears and bearings. Just let it set and drip for a while if you are concerned about mixing the oils. -- Will Honea |
Re: Possible to Repair Synchros?
Thanks Will - I picked up a Haynes Manual today, looks like I have some
heavy reading to do. I also picked up 4 quarts of Redline MT 90 and I plan on changing the fluid sometime this week. Hopefully I meet with the same results you did. If not I found a Transmission Repair Kit at Advanced Auto Parts for under $50 (it is on sale, typically @ $90). Do these types of kits usually contain synchros? Does this seem like too low of a price? Do you think it is worth a shot before a tranny replacement or rebuild? Thanks again for all your advice - Mark |

Re: Possible to Repair Synchros?
Usually transmission parts like the synchros are order individually
as needed. The term "kit" is only used with the name "small parts kit" as far as I know, and will only include needle bearings, and thrust washers and snap rings: http://www.crownautomotive.net/catal...mall_parts.jpg God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ macgraphics wrote: > > Thanks Will - I picked up a Haynes Manual today, looks like I have some > heavy reading to do.
