t56 tear down (revised w/ pics)
i posted this earlier and the pics didnt come up so i deleted that post and am reposting it with pics. so as i said earlier, the knocking was caused by my 4th gear(if you can call it that anymore) so far the only pics i have are of the teardown. i mainly took them to help me with the reassembly. ive got 1st, 2nd, and 3rd back on the shaft with new keys, rings, springs. Also upgraded to the steel 3-4 fork. brass pads on 1-2 and 3-4. replaced the 3-4 synchro assembly completly. im waiting on one part to come in the mail that i forgot to order. once it gets here ill be putting everything else back together. notice the magnets in the pic, the sharpnal on them is the remainder 4th gear and several keys. also had to replace the countershaft along with 4th.

thanks. i know theres a teardown guide in the stickies, but some pictures show diffrent angles than others. i took pics mainly to help me if i forgot where something went, but figured they could be of some use to others. its the 1st trans ive rebuilt, and it not as bad as its made out to be

the race from 4th gear spun i think because the shim for it was pretty chewed up. the new races fit kind of loose in the front plate. i mean they fit perfect but i can remove them by hand. im assuming they are suppose to fit tighter than this? the guy who is pressing on my new bearing said we should put loctite on the races, but i dont wanna do this till i know i dont need nmore shims under them

ok, so what are the chances ill have to shim it? the only major components i replaced were the counter shaft and input. i put a new shim under them to match the original shim. and if i need to shim it more, which one do i shim, the ones on the midplate or the one in the tailshaft? sorry for all the questions, but on my 1st rebuild i need all the advice i can get.

Chances are 100% you'll have an unknown issue when not shimming it and be uncertain if the cause is a clearance issue or not...
Read the sticky at the top and get the T56 rebuild manual. It has all 3 shimming procedures in it.
