[6pack] Transmission rebuild

[Hunter, Darcy]

Got lots of good advice mostly suggesting looking at the clutch.  My plan is to check out the suggestion from Gary this weekend and see if there are obvious issues.  I have an extra transmission with it's own problems so I can compare the shift forks as well as checking tolerances as suggested in
the workshop manual.  After that, need to consider removing the clutch and look for problems then reassembling making sure the clutch is working cleanly and go for a test drive.  I suppose not every bell housing bolt is required to make this check.  Thanks

Darcy, check the shift forks (These are brass and look like two large fingers) that are inside the top cover of the transmission.  Are they worn or bent?  These are easy to check as all you have to do is unbolt the top cover.  Could be out of adjustment if they are loose.  This will affect shifting
and not be associated with gears.  Otherwise you better figure on some gears and new synchros.  I would send it to John Esposito @ Quantum Mechanics by the way if you aren't going to do it yourself.  John is a Pro that Gear Boxes are his specialty.
