POS transmission

[big hoss]

i just finished rebuliding my tranny in the deuce, every thing is up to spec. My problem is that it dosent want to shift from second to third and when you let off the gas in second or third it makes a terrible skretching noise. Other than that its fine.

you did not by chance shere the 2nd gear key

 

[big hoss]

[73m819]

[big hoss]

yes. but if they sheard i wouldnt have 2nd or 3rd. i have the gears it just mackes a really awful noise

Did you do the syncros? I know my work truck has bad syncros in ALL the gears. Have you tried double clutching and matching the RPMs perfectly?

 

[big hoss]

I didn't change the syncros. Double clutching disentangle help

 

[doghead]

So, you did not rebuild your trans...

I have no coment.............Except to say DH had 12000 postsssssssss.

Congrats on 12,000 Posts Mr. Head! A great day for no one. So I gather you do not know how to double clutch. Neutral Gear with a clutch engagement to and from neutral. Pretty simple. Just match your RPMs, and if you can do that you can float them too. But dont, Be easy on that tranny. Replace your syncros and see what happens

I just don't see the point of calling the transimmison a "POS". The design of the M35A2 has latest 40 + years. Also, there is no gas pedal on an M35A2.

12,000 posts for DOGHEAD! Wow!

It's not that impressive. 6000+ "do a search", 3000+ "It's in the TMs"...

I can double clutch. It will go into gear but while in gear when I get off the throttle It makes a really bad squeeling noise.

 

[doghead]

Did you replace any bearings or bushings when you rebuilt it?

Did you properly set the preload on the bearings?

 

[Goose2448]

I think the idea of a rebuild is to replace everything except the case.

Reminds me of a Homer Simpson quote...and I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember it exactly...but he said "I had two children (at that time) and a job and somehow I still managed to fit in eight hours of TV." (insert SteelSoldiers for TV).

I replaced input and output bearings , second gear woodruff keys, and snap rings. And got the main shaft milled down. I put it back to gether they way the TM told me to.

Sounds like you may need to tear that sucker apart again.

Yeah something just dont sound right. Maybe you got some dirt in there. It happened to our 96 Caviler after it blew the first trans about 50 miles out of warranty. They did not clean it out too well and missed some dirt or something. It blew up with in 10 miles. Needless to say, they replaced it for free.
