Coyled:
I don't know what the Tremac "dogs" look like but the GM Muncie's are incredibly hard and they can break, too. I always wondered about that, as I have retreived a few of them and it has to take one heck of a lot of force to do it to them. The Toploader "dogs" are wider and made of very light metal--almost tinney in composition. As you know, all these transmission work off the same prinicples, and I would think that the TL would be more subject to breaking but, obviously, there must be something in the design of the synchro unit that prevents it from happening. I am not saying that it doesn't occur, but compared to the hardened GM "dogs", I would have thought the TL would be more vulnerable. Apparently not.
This was good discussion, guys, and thanks for all the input.
Flanker:
I have a Tremac manual that I could fax if you want to tackle this job. Not speaking for Coyled and Chad, but they might be able to assist, as they have been through this before. Might make a good weekend project.
