Lost 1st and second gear

Im replacing the shift seat bushing and the shifter bushing. The seat is brittle and cracked and the bushing is pretty rounded at the bottom. The 1st/2ns sycnro looks good and isn't messed up. All the gears look good ans there wasn't metal flakes or pieces in it when I drained the fluid. It should go back and be smooth when all back together. The clutch is 2-3 years old and the master and slave cylinder is 6 months old.

 

that looks like a pretty healthy transmission.

 

where in the tranny is this bolt? that's super weird that they use a bolt that can break inside the transmission..

 

its the bolt that holds the fork to the selector shaft. not a common part to break. but it can

 

I'm assuming it requires a trans teardown in order to fix? what a nightmare.

 

yea. manual transmissions arent a huge deal to pull apart. the hardest part is removing them from the truck

 

I changed the clutch out a couple years ago and it was still fresh in my mind. It helped separate from the engine much easier this time. It was a fight last time I lowered it. Thankfully the truck sits high enough that I didn't have to jack it up to get it out from under the truck.

 

No, it was on a shift fork that is on the side So i didn't have tear in to the gears and shafts.

 

yea once you have to rip the gear stack apart... thats when its less fun. but still not too bad

 

I don't have a press so I'm thankful I didn't have to tear into them.
