I've got my t56 all torn down finally. I'd like to have some people with more experience rebuilding look at these pics and give recommendations on whether or not the stuff pictured needs replaced. Before the teardown, 1st gear was impossible to engage unless at a complete stop. No other problems in any other gears. The 1st gear friction material is totally gone, so that explains that problem. Here's the pics.....

1-2 slider: I think this probably needs replaced, but not sure.

1st gear: Looks reusable to me, is it?

2nd gear: Also looks reusable to me, is it?

I need to order parts tomorrow, any input/suggestions are much appreciated. I'm for sure ordering:
-carbon syncros
-billet 3-4 keys
-steel 3-4 fork
-5/6 driven gear
-bronze fork pads 1-2, 3-4, 5-6
-snap rings

Budget is super tight right now......if I can get away with reusing 1st & 2nd gear, I'd sure prefer to do that and keep some peace with the wife.

I'd send those pics to someone who knows more than I do but... It looks like that slider is done. First gear looks okay to me. Second gear, not so good. I think that is the older style gear. I had one of those and on the very first hard shift, (after the H/C install), I removed everyone of the synchro teeth. It's a pretty common problem. I would replace that gear even if it looked good.

Thanks for the reply chucky, anyone else? Can anyone else verify that this is the old style 2nd gear?......I thought the old style had real short teeth.

1/2 Slider needs to be replaced. 1Gear looks good and 2nd Looks Okay. There are a few teeth that look like they need replacing but overall it looks okay. I would do the blocker rings for sure, steel 3/4 for sure and if budget allows add the 3/4 keys and bronze pads. You will also need the 1/2 slider of course.

Thanks,
Amber

No expert, but if you reuse 2nd I'd consider dressing some of those rounded off teeth.
