Anytime that you tear down on a transmission there will
be items such as snap rings, roll pins and oil seals
that should not be reused, even if you have the
intention of replacing only one part. Sure people
have done it but it is not something that we practice or
recommend, especially if you want the job done right.
Now let's say that your transmission is grinding 2nd
gear and someone told you that you need a new
synchronizer ring to fix this problem. While this is
partially true, you will still need some other parts to
go along with it so that the job is done correctly.
You will also need a 1st/2nd hub & sleeve assembly
because the engagement teeth on the sleeve have gotten
all torn up from it grinding that shift. Once the
engagement teeth start to loose their profile it won't
shift as good as it should, so you'll need that too.
If the transmission has been grinding that shift enough
the engagement teeth on 2nd gear will become chipped up
and rounded over and need replacement as well. If
one were to simply replace just the synchro there would
be little chance of the transmission shifting nearly as
good as it could have if the other damaged parts weren't
replaced.
Summary: There will usually be several parts that
need to be replaced to correct a transmission problem
including some small parts that should be replaced
anytime that the transmission has to come apart for
service. If you have a transmission that works fine, for
the most part, and only needs a couple things replaced
we can do it. Just email us with your problem and we'll
give you an estimate.
