| Post subject: | 3rd and 4th gear |
I just upgraded my tranny to a used 6 rib and I am having two issues. My first issue is shifting into 3rd gear. When I shift into 3rd, it always grinds and I have to go way over and up to get it into 3rd. It almost feels like I have to hook 3rd gear. I am thinking this might be corrected by adjusting my shifter. My second issue is the noise coming from the transmission when I am in 3rd or 4th gear. The tranny has a terrible whinnying when under load in 3rd or 4th. When coasting, there is no noise. Any Ideas? As always, Thanks |

I'd tear it down and have a look, before it is totaled. 3rd most likely syncronizer or broke 3-4 hub. With the whinning it all could be caused by a bad bearing or bearings. If you shift pattern is real wide you probably have a worn out hockey stick shift ball. Whinning=tear it down. |

That is what I figured... If I do a rebuild, what gearing would you recommend. My tires are around 33 inches and I have a 2276. I was thinking of running a 4.86 with the following ratio.. 1st - 3.78 2nd - 2.06 3rd - 1.26 4th - .88 |

Those are essentially stock ratios and are what I am running in my car with 4.83 R&P and 33" tires . I find that 1st winds out to quickly and second tends to lug unless on the Rs. I would opt for a 2.46 on second. You can buy a 3.75 or a 3.44 for 1st thru Weddle. You MickeyMouse wrote: That is what I figured... If I do a rebuild, what gearing would you recommend.

After talking to the Transmission expert (Aka. Chuck Jones).. I have decided to replace the mainshaft bearing and see if that solves my immediate problem before rebuilding the entire tranny. I just ordered a new mainshaft bearing, nose cone bearing and a new hockey stick. It looks like I will be keeping stock gears for awhile. |

Get a steel shift ball for the hockey stick too. |
