WHAT THE F*** ARE THESE!

[Guest 4wdftw]

found these stuck to my magnetic gearbox sump plug.and no im not talkin bout my fingers! reason i asked is because im having to do a gearbox swap after losing 2nd gear

[Guest]

wow, what every they are, they dont look like there spose to be there

-smurff

[Bazza-NZ]

got a side view of them?

I'd say parts of your gear box

[albaru]

Is it difficult to find reverse gear? Have you or anyone that you know of slammed the gears from 1st to reverse?

The reason I ask is that they look like 2 of the 3 detents that allow you to select reverse gear.

[Don't ask me why I know ]

[Guest boostcut]

those are shift plates from the shift hub/ring. haha

[Guest 4wdftw]

yeah

ok 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th , R is fine

2nd gear is screwed ( clack clack clack )

[Guest boostcut]

thtd be the reason then.... pull it apart and put them back in and youl have a spare.... they are on the main shaft.. obviously 2nd gear shift hub.... search for a diagram bro

[Guest 4wdftw]

so these not being in there would make the clack clack clack noise?

why did they come out in the first place?

oh and there is drive in 2nd however i changed 1-3 after the noise. ( no i didnt drive around using 2nd gear when it was like that )

[Guest boostcut]

the shift ring/sleeve will be cruising around on the hub and bangin it im guessing.... did you change real fast before it happened? either that or the spring that holds tension on the back of them broke and they fell out the back.... hard to tell until the box is apart

that makes sense now.

nope just normal changing.

will pull the box out tomorrow and crack it open. will post pics.

[Guest boostcut]

sweet as...

[Guest 4wdftw]

surely those two lil pieces of metal wouldnt do that to my gear box tho?

[Guest boostcut]

you would be amazed at wat 1 grain of sand can do to an automatic trans then..... they arnt just two bits of metal.... they have a very specific job and without them look what happens

[Guest 4wdftw]

so hopefully pull it to bits put em back in and hey presto! sweet?

[Guest boostcut]

yeah maybe.... check that the springs etc are still in good cond etc.... maybe get a gearbox specialist to check....

[Guest]

Yip syncro detents for sure

I'd take a wild guess and say that the input shaft nut has come undone and these are from the 5th/rev syncro assembly

It is very possible that one of these (prob the missing one , there are three of them) has gone through the gear set

[log1call]

Those plates can't come out because the springs broke.

Either there is endfloat because something broke or came loose, like a circlip say, or else you have broken a synchro hub, which is where those two bits fit.

[Guest 4wdftw]

hmm... if anyone wants to come have a look at the box they are more than welcome.
