Default Re: Day Cab Work Truck by Izzy

Hello everyone = a little update ....... Aug 2012 or so I dropped the gear set out of the trans on a full pull on the sled at Indy. SO I purchased bevel cut brass gears. Then after a year and half of putting her through some **** and such I dusted off the grime and took her up to the mid Michigan group event last month. Funny thing happened - she wouldn't back up in first gear - 2nd ok and 3rd but not first. Determined on tear down that the "knobs" on the shift plates wore off the plastic trans parts - probably due to the brass gears,

Soooooo

Metal shift plates and a new case for the trans - had been way to hacked up to put back in
