So, what did you do today?

So we found out why Orange is Fourth!

All three keys in the 3/4 syncrho assembly are worse than toast, and all three were poking out of the slider. If they weren't billet, might still be limping along enough for it to fail at Hallett and let Dustin by for the win. If we had tried to "kick it out," I'm pretty sure we would have broken something significant.

Soon to be for sale in the other section. Nothing like paying somebody, twice, to apparently put a trans back together wrong. We're pretty sure the keys were NOT in the slider correctly.

Any pics before you disassembled the slider assy?
Steel 3-4 fork? How do the pads on the fork look?
Pics of the inside of the slider ring and the hub?
Are billet keys cheater camaro parts??!?!

Like this? All three were poking out and hung up well.

Steel 3-4 fork? How do the pads on the fork look?

Yes. Perfect; save where the keys kept the slider overthrown onto the adjacent gear.

Pics of the inside of the slider ring and the hub?

Don't think so; replacing the 3/4 assembly - slider shows wear from riding the adjacent gear. Probably/likely all new bearings given some shininess we saw in the fluid and obvious wear on that slider.

Are billet keys cheater camaro parts??!?!

Yes. I mean no. I mean, no?

Who knew the T56 was so easy to work on! Just pull it out, take it to The OIF garage, and David and Scott will have it fixed in no time!

Who knew the T56 was so easy to put back together. Don't know why Dave couldn't do it the last time.

Fixed it for you.

And don't forget the self-serve tire changes.

Back in Denton!!!

Well...... got the replacement cam in the CMC motor and got the motor sealed back up. Thanks for the cam James.
Went to swap in the bearings over to a spare A arm I have. Once I priced a new ball jointand install costs, I was better off oordering 2 new ones. Those will be here next Friday. Plans are to get it back to a roller again then find a frame shop.
Slowly but surely I am getting it back together. Still need to find or build a new y pipe.

Pretty sure you can get a dual 2.5" y pipe on Fleabay. Local guy here ran one, but he did bash it in good at Hallett last year. I think it hung low, but so did mine. I ended up patching it up with new bends and tucking it much higher and forward. Hardly a scratch on it. More than I can say for my fenders.
