Hey Mike,

If you have access to a press and some basic tools (bearing pullers, set of
punches, feeler gauges, torque wrench, etc) they are not too hard to rebuild
yourself.  I have rebuilt two of them.  One was the modified Skyhook
Engineering ones for the TD's and TF's..  You're in Socal right?  Gerard up
North of you rebuilds them and I know Bill M down in Santee has done several
so you might contact one them.

A good set of original syncro should be fine, you'll just need to measure
them out and make sure they are within tolerances as you go.  All the info
you need is in the service manual.  I can send you a copy or you can
download it from the Rivergate or Gerard's sites if you don't have it.
Bearings, seals, and bushings are all pretty much still available, that's
about it.  I have a few thrust bearings if yours are out of tolerance, but
that's about it.  I do have a bunch of parts for a 60L (dogleg) though.

Subject: [Spridgets] Datsun Transmission

Finally took the Bugeye out for a ride today after all the rebuilding the
suspension, brakes and steering.  I drained and refilled the Datsun
transmission with Redline MT 90.  Well, the shifting was very notchy.  I
could not downshift without grinding gears.  So, it has to come out and
replace the synchros which are not available.  Might be easier to replace
the transmission if I could find one.  My only other alternative is
replacing the synchros with a very good set of used Datsun synchros I have.
Who rebuilds these old transmissions anyway?  Anyone have one of these
transmissions they would like to sell?

g
the suspension, brakes and steering.&nbsp; I drained and refilled the Datsun=

transmission with Redline MT 90.&nbsp; Well, the shifting was very
notchy.&nbsp; I could not downshift without grinding gears.&nbsp; So, it has=
 to
come out and replace the synchros which are not available.&nbsp; Might be
easier to replace the transmission if I could find one.&nbsp; My only other
alternative is replacing the synchros with a very good set of used Datsun
synchros I have.&nbsp; Who rebuilds these old transmissions anyway?&nbsp;
Anyone have one of these transmissions they would like to sell?<o:p></o:p></=
