Case before installing. Transmission internals looked fantastic. Was visually inspected and checked before installing in the jeep.
Nothing looked or felt worn.
Now that it’s running about during my “debugging” phase I noticed it jumps out of gear on a downhill coast in 2nd gear.
I do not relish the thought of removal again so I’m looking for answers before removing from jeep
Searching for answers on this site brought up this:
The last comment is what I wish to explore further before I tear this transmission out.Generally 3 things cause the synchro to pop out. Worn or damaged synchro, Worn shaft bearings and/or pilot bearings and of course not being fully positioned correctly by worn or improperly installed shifter fork.
In the case of this transmission, I wish to note that action of the shifter Tower / assembly.
From neutral to say 1st or reverse, there seems to be a long “throw” and a very positive engagement
2nd however seems like a very short “throw” into place from
Neutral.
Is this an indicator of a shift tower problem that can be adjusted somehow?
Or is this a sign of internal wear of gears or syncros indication perhaps something was missed upon inspection
