Hello all,
It's been a while since I've posted, I've been working hard on my 67 Sprite and it's almost done! I replaced much of the sheet metal and it came out nice and straight. I painted the engine compartment, and mounted up all my new suspension (Thanks Apple Hydraulics)and this thing is just bolting right up these days. I dug into the transmission last night and to my dismay, it seems that the synchro cones that seat with the baulk rings are warn out, but I'm not sure, I've never done a manual gearbox before. Should the baulk ring seat all the way down over the cone and still be able to turn? I thought it should eventually kind of stop turning, it is a little clutch after all, but I'm not sure. The rest of the gear box build seems really straight forward, and I think I've got it licked.
The other issue is, where can I have these gears serviced. New replacement's if you can find them are really expensive. Does anyone have a second and third gear for a ribbed case they'd be willing to part with?
Jim
