Tko 600
Well it happened again. I was accelerating hard in third gear, getting on the freeway, tried to shift to 4th and could not tried 5th then 4th then 3rd and finally got it in 5th and limped home Took it apart watched a bunch of tremec videos on the web ordered the parts needed {surprisingly not to expensive} and rebuilt the transmission. This time I paid close attention to the gear cluster on the bottom and added sims. It was out of spec. Not sure if this is what caused the 5th gear reverse pin to crack in half but this is the second time it has happened. All the gears and the syncros are like new. I am using pennzoil synchromesh and the transmission shifts great for me usually no issues. Any thoughts why this keeps happening? Just wondering what would cause this to happen other than a bad part or poor design their are two holes drilled though the pin one for the finger and one for the roll pin that holds the finger in place. Car has only 7300 miles:confused:

No sir, no side loading nothing like that. All bearings, gears and shafts look good. Only problem was gear cluster out of spec, just not sure if that would cause the problem. I do not believe so. No uneven wear on gears everything looked good I was wondering bad part? so I tried a new vendor.Also wondering anyone else having this issue?:confused:

Hauss,
I'm an automatic guy, so pardon my stab in the dark: if the inside of the trans is OK, what about the stuff outside? I'm thinking linkage, shifter, that kind of stuff? Tom |
Tom, as I said everything looks good. Quick time bellhousing even wear no indications of side loads trans shifted great no issues until pin cracked in half. Not sure why ? I do thank you for your reply I am puzzled.

Defective pin?
Is this the same fail as the first time? |

Is this relevant: http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/all-...h-finally.html

Good read but no, like I said shifts great up until the pin cracks into two pieces.

Have you checked the 5th/reverse shift rail isn’t bent? Possibly loading the shift fork.

Gear Box Video on Youtube by Paul Cangialosi has some great videos on the Tremecs. He is not a fan of them.

pin and roll pin along with finger{not the correct term} were brand new not bent. yes I have looked at dozens of videos called tremec sent to silver sport they are working on a fix Meanwhile stuck using the pins from tremec. I am looking to upgrade to a magnum but it seems to be to long to fit in a backdraft. Motor is moved back in these cars for better handling. Not sure what it would take to install just want to keep the tko its lighter and smaller. Gears are plenty strong just the pin is the problem.Don"t know why paul is not a fan it has larger gears than a top loader just the pin should be a easy fix. Also it is a five speed whats not to like again other than the pin?

the brass synchro rings, directly linked to the output shaft, are there to gradually bind on the cone surface of the gears, to "synchronize" the speed of the gears and counter gears to the speed of the output shaft, so you can smoothly engage the gears when shifting. The heavier the gears / counter shaft gears are, the harder it is for the synchro rings to change the speed of the gears / counter gears, slowing the shift. So lighter gears, by definition, should shift smoother and faster. The TKO has I believe a 3 rail internal shifter arrangement, where as the T5, and T56 are single rail / common rail, theoretically smoother for performance shifting. |
