Default T56 - 1st gear collar, and a question on #140, #141-148 (5th/6th Shift Rail assembly)

FIRST QUESTION:

I'm looking at an exploded parts diagram and,

is the part #140 the same as the parts #141-148, but fully assembled?

I need clarification because my trans builder told me that i'm missing my 5th/6th shift rail and i'm wondering if he's missing the whole assembly, or just the main rail itself.



SECOND QUESTION:

My trans builder is asking me if there is a collar on the shaft near first gear that i didn't give to him.

he told me that there's way too much end play on the shaft and he thinks that there might be a collar somewhere near the needle bearings.

he said that he can't find the part on the parts diagram.

what is he talking about? how can i supply him with this part?

Question 1 yes.

Question 2, the exploded view you gave is wrong, its for 5-6 and reverse.

Look on the parts blow up, number 115 is a spacer in the 5-6 cluster.


5-6 cluster AKA the countershaft extension sits on the back of the countershaft so this has no effect on the mainshaft clearances.

There is spacer on the front half of the mainshaft, #171 in your picture, #179 in the Tremec manual it is under 3rd gear.

Thanks man. I'll double check with the trans builder. You've been super helpful.
