Transmission rebuild questions

Bad Shoe Productions How To Video Series - Ford Transmissions & Rears

I highly recommend you buy his T5 rebuild video if you plan on rebuilding it yourself. Well worth the $30. I have some pics from my rebuild in my back to stock thread, http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/842480-back-stock-build-thread.html

The $250 rebuild kits only include bearings, syncro's, spacers, etc. If any of the gears or other hard parts are damaged you'll need to buy them separate. If it's just having problems going into 2nd, then it's probably either a syncro wore out or the gear is damaged. I have a pic of 1st gear, you can see the teeth pointing straight up on the inside of the gear. Those teeth mesh with the syncro and if they get rounded off on the end you'll have problems shifting.

1st gear, a synchronizer, and 5th is the small one on the right.



Also, if you don't need to replace any bearings or other parts you can save a lot of money and buy parts separately. You could probably get just 2nd gear and syncro for cheaper than the $250 rebuild kit.

It grinds when you put it in second and let off the clutch. Does that help?

Can you actually drive it in second gear?? If so then the gear is most likely ok syncros cause grinding going in to gear.
