I just tore down the open AD 3 sp. It looks like I can swap out the clutch gear
shaft (input), syncro hub and syncro as a unit. How can I get the brass syncro
out of the syncro hub without goofing it up? I could tear the trans completley
down, but I don't have the special tools. I do have a shop press. I might give
it a try. thx
