tranny gurus, what are the symptoms of a bent shifting fork?
I'm having tranny problems and in the end I will just end up replacing the hole tranny. But I'm curious what about what is wrong with it. The car sometimes get stuck in reverse. When I start the car in neutral the car sound find, but when I put the car in first gear and back to neutral the tranny makes a whining noise.
Thanks
Nick

CS case side bearing has walked out, misaligning the countershaft
it sticking out.......
tapped back in
staked into place with a center punch
When they bearin walks out, second gear is offset away from normal engagement, therefore your chasing it to engage, but the shift arm interlock guide bolt won't allow enough throw.
EVERY tranny I work on now gets the CS bearing staked in. 3-4 hits on a DD tranny, 5-6 on a race tranny. I've seen the CS bearing even when staked in 3-4 times work it's way out on a race tranny (mine!) but not far enough to cause issues.
My Kaaz race tranny with 50k miles on it.........
Yes, the guru I be.

Re: tranny gurus, what are the symptoms of a bent shifting fork?
bone, how much am I looking at for you to rebuild a z6/y8 tranny with one of those obxs and all bearings that you feel should be replaced? Including the cost of the obx? If you still do tranny work.
