Subject:Need help identifying Syncro transmission parts
From:BenT Syncro
Date:Tue, 5 Oct 2010 04:14:22 -0700

Hello Folks,

I have a bunch of pieces from a disassembled Syncro trans and hope to
identify them properly. I've never taken a transmission apart and not
embarrassed to admit my lack of knowledge with regards to these parts.

Guessing the brass ring with teeth is the synchro slider. It appears in
undamaged condition. I see the gear sets sit inside each other when they are
installed. Which gear is which? The shaft (sorry, don;t know exact term) has
what appears to be a weld of some sort. Does that belong there as possibly
part of the assembly? Or is that damaged?

These came from a trans with locking diff. The locker sat in a bucket full
of water for an extended period. The bearings are rusted solid. No pics of
this part. There are plans to bead blast that part and bearings replaced if
it is still in usable condition. I eventually will sell these off once
properly identified.

TIA,
