If you want a reliable Trans.. I would call Chuck Jones.. You will know that you have a correctly built trans and he can usually rebuild your trans cheaper than you can buy the gears.

Call Chuck Jones, it sounds like a bad ring and pinion.

Pop the bellhousing and check, the spider gears are generally the weakest point, 1st to break.

Unless you have a source to borrow the specialty tools it's cheaper to have it done. If the pinion bearing needs replaced it requires 2 real special tools. Just sayin! :wink:

x2

the only 6 rib r&p's ive seen broke were due another to another failure such as a bad bearing, stripped/loose pinion nut, or broken carrier
