Gearbox Experts Needed.....Please
Hi,
I've had recent problems with my box on a '93 wrx (5th and reverse), thought it might just be the 'big nut' ....but no
on close inspection yesterday I could see that the baulk ring has worn (not the teeth but where the 3 little peg things sit).... so methinks this is what caused problems going into 5th and probs coming out of reverse (pegs can rise slightly)
but I also noticed that fith cog itself has very slight side/side movement along length of shaft.........is this normal?, as all other cogs in box seem tight in this respect. I cant see any signs of wear!
I do have a spare box for parts (typically missing fith syncro though) and were wondering if any of the other syncros/baulks in box will fit??? as some are same size (external)
if so how do I get cogs off the shaft......can't see obvious nut holding it all together? (failing that I may just take the angle grinder to it to get them off..........I know rough ar.se)
anyways all quality info greatly appreciated!!!
cheers guys

Under their bonnets or pulling boxes out!
I leave gearboxes alone, but a call/email to David at Welcome to the API website might help you. They are doing heaps of gearboxes now and Rob there is the top man.
