T5 Rebuild Gurus

[89redvert]

I just got my world class T5 rebuild kit and was starting the rebuild. The blocker rings with the new kit look like they have some sort or felt insert. The old blocker rings have nothing. Is this right?

Did you get carbon fiber blocker rings?

How worn at the old blocker rings?

Is it felt..or more like a paper lining?

 

[89redvert]

It looks like they are carbon fiber outer blocker rings. The original outer blocker rings do not have anything at all on them.

The one on the left is the new one. The one on the right is the old one.

Forgot the picture

I've got the picture, can't figure out how to post it. What is the easiest way?

Either a host site and then link it...or if it;s small enough you can attach it to your post. There is an ioption below where you type the reply

if the trans is a non world class the blocking rings will be brass and gold in color.
World class trans use felt on the blocking rings to ease shifting, its very possible that your trans is just that worn out that felt is no longer there

worn out blocker ring will likey have the lining missing. The new kit will have the lining on the blocker rings... also the 5th gear blocker ring is brass. hope this helps
