Post pics, how do the synchro stops and engagement teeth look, as well as the teeth on the sliders and the gears? I don't distinctly remember the color of mine, and I even put my trans together myself...lol. FWIW, the 1-2 and 5-r synchros sit in the flui, which could keep them cleaner. On jacks website, they appear to all be the same color.. http://www.jackstransmissions.com/co...-9-rebuild-kit
Need moar pics.
And FWIW, I would have replaced the center diff bearings too. I was just commenting that they weren't bad in the sense they were making noise.
Also, that poor trans is dirty as f#ck inside
I have no idea why the damn tranny is so dirty looking, I've changed the fluid 4-6 times in 15k miles...lost count.
It's taking 12 hours of a simple green soak to clean off.
Here's 3rd, the synchro's look worn to me, and I think the edges of 3rd gear are actually worn badly...again after 15k miles with no grinding at all??
Looks worn to me.
teeth wear on 3rd syncro teeth
Look at the edges of 3rd gear teeth...Worn badly?
Slider looks fine to me
Nothing sticks out on the syncro itself except maybe to much wear for 15k miles....again those teteh o n 3rd though...thoughts?
The edges of 3rd gear aren't worn, that's the detail/profiling work Jon does, at least that's what it looks like to me.
The synchro engagement teeth all look pretty good to me. Work synchro teeth usually look flat, not like a triangle. Yours still look like triangles with a decent point.
This a pic of a new 1-2 synchro on Jon's website. It looks dark...

Are you sure about the wear pattern actually being the custom work Jon does?
Seems a bit random to me, I'm going to try to get a better shot of that.
The funny thing about the pic you uploaded is that it looks like the same color of my 3,4,5, and R Synchro's.....Only 1&2 look shiny and new.

Sent you a PM, didn't want to post the detailed picture of this....
I think you'll be happier with Shep. I had two TRE built trans prematurely suck. 6spd and 5spd. Add that to the fact he still doesn't understand what communication means.

Never again.
Roger that.
To be clear, the replacement parts are coming from Shep, I'll be performing the build myself.
