Transmission trouble
I have installed a new (not rebuilt) trans in my 31 I bought it from what I consider to be one of our better parts dealers. I say this to make it clear that I am in no way bashing the seller. If I wanted to remove the trans I am sure that they would refund my money. Believe me I don't want to take it out. I just want it to quit slipping out of high gear. This happens when I am going down hill with my foot off the gas. The back pressure just makes it go into nutral. If you play with the gas pedel and hold your hand on the shift lever you can feel it slideing back and forth in the trans.
Are the spring detents suppose To hold it in gear? It takes a lot of hand pressure to make it stay in gear. I am useing the same shift tower that was on the old trans and it didn't jump out of high gear. I also put in a new clutch disk and pilot bearing. The reason I put in the new trans is because I had a chiped tooth in second gear. It would make a knocking sound in second. I am open to and will appreciate any suggestions. |

Re: Transmission trouble
Was the flywheel cover dialed in and the correct thickness shims installed under the top 2 flywheel cover bolts?

Re: Transmission trouble
Sounds like a pilot bearing problem, but if you put a new one in, did you just happen to check if it was a snug fit on the input shaft?
