Moses,
I'm Back. I have done a lot of measurements and checking. The first thing, I put the shift housing and shift lever on, held together with clamps. I supported the gear assemblies and observed the operation of the shift forks and synchronizer sleeve. In forth gear the sleeve engages all but 1/16th inch of the cogs and when in 3rd gear the sleeve engages all but 3/32nds inch of the cogs. At that point the 3&4 shift rail snap ring is up against the intermediate plate. The shift fork-to-sleeve clearance for 1&2 and 3&4 are both 0.020". I disassembled the gear assembly and took measurements of the shaft. First gear surface 1.534, second gear 1.848, third gear 1.495, the pilot surface 0.983 and the flange is 0.198. All surfaces smooth, no ripples or indentations. The input shaft bore is 1.456 and its pilot surface 0.590, and also both smooth. The syncro ring to gear of all the new syncros is 0.030. I inspected the first, second and third gear bearings, they looked OK but the cage edges felt sharp. So I ordered all three bearings, should be here Friday. I inspected the new keys and springs and found that my placement of the 3&4 insert springs were not as shown in the video, so I corrected the positioning. I tried to measure 3rd gear wobble by putting pressure on the top and bottom of the gear and measuring clearance. I got 0.005 one way and 0.008 the other way. The 3rd gear to flange is 0.008 while holding 3rd gear straight back from the flange. All of the inner gear bores are smooth. I hope the new bearings will take up the wobble.? Oh yea, I installed a new clutch pilot bearing and checked the shifter clearance through the floor board, no problem there. Are there any other things to check before Friday when my parts arrive?
Thanks
Bob
