so i got a getrag with about 290,000 that i run pretty hard. now the tranny shifts fine. but once im in 5th the second i let of the throttle it pops out, when ur coasting basicly. wondering if anybody has had ths problem? do you think there is a detent in the shift rack thats letting it pop out?

thanks guys

I ahs that happen years ago and I had to have to my trans rebuilt. I believe the reason they gave me for it popping out of 5th was the syncros were worn

Its probably the shift tower worn due to not moving the shifter in and out of 5th straight. So you can buy reman towers, or try to disassemble and repair yourself.

yea i know on the class 10 trucks at work thats how they where them out. and im sure it was shift like that its whole life. i dont remember what the top of the tranny looks like, the tower comes off seperately? like can i fit it throw the floor
?

only if you cut a big hole in it, these trucks dont have a removeable trans tunnel but you can make one

Yep, no removable floor panel... Not hard to make a getrag access hole though! My 92 gained one last winter due to a 3/4 shift fork failure.

my getrag pops out of 1st and 3rd when i let off the throttle. Im just gunna drive it till she goes totally, then ill find a 6spd for it.

No, but there was a thread from a year or two ago that did.

so the popping out if gear is more to do with a shift fork, then with the slider gear? that would make my life alot better. my front bearings get noisy, i think its time to change the fluid n make sure its got 2 xtra quarts too. well heres a link i found for parts

So, seriously is it a good idea to put 2 extra quarts of lube in the trans? Quarts or pints? How do you get it in?

Usually it's the synchros making it pop out.

1 extra quart.

There are several ways to get it in. Remove shifter, or through one of the PTO cover bolts, or installing an elbow in the fill hole.

Sounds to me like worn out input shaft/race...

big stinky... thats what i started thinkin after doin alot of readin? do you know if there tapered bearing? and i guess u use shims on one of the end caps to adjust the preload? do u know if its on the front of back of the tranny. i was thinkni of pullin the shims n tightening the preload to get it through the weekend. then of course fixxin it right after the big pull

apwatson50

Yes, tapered bearings, like wheel bearings.

Yes the shims are on the back under the rear adapter housing. With used bearings pre-load should be 0.00". New bearings should be .004-.006"
