Synchro Trouble
Synchro Trouble So after accepting the fact that my trans had to come apart to change my 3/4 gear synchro keys. I tore into it tonight. I've got it all torn down to the 1/2 gear inner synchro gear. But I'm have trouble removing that gear to continue. I'm assuming I'll have the same issue with the 3/4 synchro inner gear. Is there a trick that I'm missing? Any ideas I didn't want to pry and hammer on it.
Also on of my alignment screws is stripped out any easy way to remove it? Would the best place to get a new one be GM and can i put the tranny back together without a new one in yet?

Weld a little nut on top of the torx rail pin. The heat from the weld will loosen the thread locker and you can back it out with a wrench or socket. New pins are available from places that sell t56 parts.
As mentioned above, the syncro assemblies are a press fit to the main shaft.

I'll try the weld trick. What is the actual name of the pin?
I removed the 3/4 gear synchro hub with a gear puller. Is there a way to install the keys on the 1/2 hub with it on the mainshaft everytime I try the keys just get pushed out by the outter ring. I'm even lining the them up with the notches in the outter ring.
Here is a link to the T56 service manual. http://www.tremec.com/anexos/TRSM_T56_0711.pdf
The press came from Harbor Freight.

I tore a t 56 apart last night and had same trouble with the syncro hubs. I took a punch and eased it off. Sad part is in all the LT1 t 56's Ive tore apart the have all slid right off.
