Hey all,

 

The D/R in my 88 GL grinds pretty good going into 1st 2nd and 3rd, especially when cold. When warm it's a lot better, but still there.

 

I ran Redline 75w90NS for a while (20k miles), which helped a little. Did two ATF flushes; IIRC shifted pretty well with just the ATF. Then tried the tranny cocktail for 4k miles. Still ground a bit. Currently have some Valvoline Semi-Synthetic 75w90 in it (which works great in my 91 S/R btw).

 

I have a 5spd S/R laying around, that AFAIK, shifted fine when it was pulled. Is there any technical reason keeping me from transferring the synchros from that tranny to mine? Looks like the only difference is the D/R part on the input shaft. I don't suppose I'd get lucky and have the entire output shaft/1st&2nd transfer as a whole?

 

The junkyard here will want $200+ for a transmission, and it will still be a crap shoot

 

This summer I hope to get the EJ22 in the car, so I'd make the changes then. In the meantime I can still take apart the S/R and see what I have (and it's always fun taking stuff apart ).

They will probably swap over but it would be a waste of labor to install used syncro's if you have it torn down. The biggest job is tear down and reassembly - the relatively minor cost of the syncro rings would not warrent attempting to reuse a set.

I figured they would cost $Texas. If they're relatively cheap though :cool:

 

I checked the usual places (rockauto, 1stsubaruparts) but haven't seen them listed? Rockauto has the bearings and seals though. My FSM has part #s for everything but, lol.

 

I'm sure the dealership would be just as helpful

 

Do you happen to have part numbers or somewhere online that has them?

 

Thanks,

-Dave

Try one of the online Subaru dealer's - you can type in your part numbers and it will give you the price. Very handy tools. You also might try some of the transmission rebuild kit companies. They can usually help with stuff like that - even if they don't list a kit they can usually reference all the individual parts.

oops, meant to say I have the part numbers for the shift forks, shims, etc. Everything but the synchros. And I can't seem to find anything online about them either

 

I did find the part numbers for synchros for a WRX 5speed though

Now how did you find those at 1stsubaru

 

Called the dealer, he shows the hub synchro, and 3 baulk rings for the main shaft as out of stock and discontinued. Transmission shop would have to 'inspect it' and rebuild it themselves, at the tune of $600-1400.

 

This page (click Synchro assy, 1/2 on the right) at least claims to list it, I think.

However, I think I can still get the 1-2 baulk ring (32604AA013) from the dealer. It looks like I need two, so since they're fairly cheap so I'll grab them and see what I can frankenstein together this summer.

 

Thanks for the numbers,

-Dave

Personal parts book-then looked up #s at 1st subaru.

You can probably find a parts book at one of the bit torrent sites.

I`ve found them for almost everything I`ve looked for.(except 84 subaru)

Some are from seemingly unlikely sources,like the mazda parts book from Russia.LOL

 

Those parts at transmission supply are USED.You already have some of those.

 

Might as well replace the 2 springs and 3 little "detent keys" while you are in there.
