guess how many curse words i said when this happened!?!?! :fire::fire:
got a 5speed and a 1354M from a local junk yard for 450 bucks for both! tranny was from a 99 ranger, t-case from a 95 ranger.. mileage unknown, both seem to work great except its a lil sticky going into 3rd gear... i decided to take them apart and look at em, probably rebuild them myself... so the other night. i took the shift rail cover off....
oil looks like it had been changed or just wasnt very dirty. didnt smell burnt. all the gears and teeth look fine. a few of the gold teeth are slightly worn, not bad tho... i did notice a few spots of rust on the shaft tho..
and
well the only thing i can think of is the rubber gasket came out and wasnt seated in the grove when i was tightening them... i thighend them all finger tight... then in a cross-pattern tightend them like a half turn each with the ratchet... it wasnt even tight when it cracked... i heard a "click" the same sound you get when u over tighten and strip a bolt....i look and see a nice big long crack!....ugggh any ideas on repair or where to find one used?
i found a used on on ebay for about 75 bucks.... so much for getting a good deal on a cheap tranny...
someone told me to have it welded... didnt think
