my blue 67 dream engine restoration/rebuild!

[LOUD MOUSE]

The gear is as designed and I see no problem on this side.
A pic of the dogs on the other side would be nice also a pic of the PAWL so I can see the area which engages the gear.
Your described problem is universal to this design.
Any chance of pics of the trans gears/shafts apart?. ..........lm

ok, i'm gonna try to get some photos on here....
what we are starting with....


my helper monkey.....


a 43 year old transmission....

you betcha i can give smore pics....
that pawl from a difft angle...



the driven gears


and drive gears

[greg78gs750]

and the other side of that low gear



as well as a few of the shift forks. should these be more squared off? anybody have a pic of a pristine one? i am thinking i can build them up with some tig welding and file them to shape? any thoughts on this?




thanks for any advice!

[LOUD MOUSE]

Thanks for the super pics.
Your PAWL is perfect as is.
Tis a DREAM trans for sure looking at the gears from the side.
As I said the problem is just part of the way it works.
Ya may want to stretch the spring a bit and hope. ............lm

now, a question i posted in the trans. section...before parking, the kickstart would slip with a clunck every 5th kick or so. the pawl looks ok to me, though i will replace it anyway....but do the teeth inside the 1st gear look ok? they seem a little uneven to me, making me wonder if that could have been causing the slip....take a look...


and the pawl, too...


i know this is a bit of a double post, but i want to get parts ordered and get this baby back together.
thanks! greg

well, upon cleanup and close inspection, i think there is some wear in that 1st gear kickstart engagement area. i dont think im going to bother with a new gear...i MIGHT try to tig a little weld on the worst spots....but probably i will just live with it. anyone know what material (in terms of alloys) these gears are and/or the hardening situation? like i said, i will probably just leave well enough alone, just curious. hey, the starter worked great before, why would i even need the kickstarter?? of course, it is more manly to kick her.....wait, that somehow didnt sound right.....

btw, thanks for the replies LM!!
