Stanley's Trans

In pieces anyway

EclipseRT's 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Left picture is 1st and 2nd gear, notice the synchro's are not brass. The picture on the right is 1st gear, notice the synchro is laying on the actual gear:

This is second gear, the synchro is pretty much laying on the gear but if you look closely there is a small gap between the synchro and gear. 2nd isnt quite as bad as 1st gear.

This is what a good 1st or 2nd gear synchro should look:

Lets look at the actual friction material from 1st and 2nd gear:
1st gear

2nd Gear

EclipseRT's 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse

This is the damage on the slider for 1st gear:

If you look closely you will see the dog teeth rounded over and the edges knurled. This made removing the Slider very difficult. The slider had to be tapped off the inner gear with a small hammer. Look closely at one of the teeth in the middle, looks chipped; it is!

Look at the top teeth (1st gear) you will see the bright points, that is actually the tip ground down and rolled over.

These are the slider dog teeth for second gear, you can see they are rounded over and not pointed like they used to be:

This is 3rd gear synchro/gear assy. You can see the gap between the synchro and gear. This is how the synchro should be.

EclipseRT's 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse

These are the sliders for 3/4 and 5th. Notice the brass material lodged in between the teeth. There are NO BRASS synchro's in this trans. No idea where the brass particles came from.

This is a picture of the case, notice the additional webbing, no idea what year or model trans had this webbing.

Remember, the output shaft is non serviceable so you didnt just see it apart!
