[Roadsters] Jumping 4th ( update )

[Dewey Hahlbohm]

The coupling sleeves slide over the synchros.  They are a weak spot of the 5 speed tranny, and often overlooked during rebuild.  However, I am not sure why they won't slide over that 4th gear synchro???  Is there a burr on the outside of the synchro or inside the coupling sleeve?  Dewey

>Ok so I have the tranny out and the cases apart, it looks like that  the 4th gear does not fully mesh with the sencro. Whats up with that? Spacer or  bushing in the wrong place?  Gears not completely pressed in place? It shifts ok but only seem to go 1/2 way on to 4th gear. It does not snap onto it like the rest of the gears.

>We've had our roadster for a year now and it's time to get it summer ready. I've rebuilt the brakes, replaced the bearings, put in longer front studs. But I still have one thing left to fix. My 5 speed transmission jumps out of 4th gear. The guy we bought it from said he had it rebuilt and it looks like it (new paint and gaskets) It shifts fine no grinding or forcing it into gear. But you put the power to 4th and out it jumps. Any ideas or thoughts before I tear into it would be great.
