I made a closer inspection of the gear sets today. Looks like 1st on the main shaft is worn pretty bad. How do we fix that? The rest of them look OK, to me. Are they?
I also got the diff out. Looks like he only issue in there is a missing magnet pick for the speedo ring. Repairable? 
I won't get till work on it again till next year but I'm not sure what to do next anyway. Paul Eddleston BRAID Wheels USA www.BRAIDUSA.com Team Illuminata Motorsport www.teamilluminata.com |

Happy New Year everyone. Feels like I've been away from the car for a month yet it's less than a week. Strange.
Tonight I got to look more closely at first gear on the main shaft. I'm concerned this might be worn. What do you think? Doesn't photograph well though. 
Then I got to disassemble the pinion shaft. 
I gave everything a quick once over and found a few issues. Here's one obvious problem. I don't think that ring is supposed to be around the dog teeth like that and those bent bits used to be inside it! 
I'll post more issues tomorrow if I get chance. Paul Eddleston BRAID Wheels USA www.BRAIDUSA.com Team Illuminata Motorsport www.teamilluminata.com |

Today I did more research, separated the syncros on 1st and 2nd, inspected the rest of the components and drew up a parts list.
The first thing I have decided today is that 1st gear is not worn out. I don't think it is pristine but at $2500 it better fall out of the car and onto the road if it wants replacing. I looked at pictures on line of others and they do look very similar so it stays. Get used to it. So I managed to disassemble the syncro rings on 1st and 2nd. Those snap rings are pretty tough. You can see the carnage on 1st, 2nd doesn't look too bad. 
I'm going to replace everything associated with these two gears, except the gears themselves. I just need a tool to get the dog teeth rings off. I then looked over the main shaft gears. I've decided to leave these alone as, in my opinion they look pretty good and I've never had any issues shifting 3 to 5, 
So here is the parts list so far. Did I miss anything? 1st gear brake band (37) 1st gear dog teeth 1st gear synchro ring (39) 1st/2nd shift hub (41) 1st/2nd shift sleeve (42) 2nd gear brake band (37) 2nd gear dog teeth 2nd gear synchro ring (39) accelerator pivot bushing (13) Main shaft lock nut Pinion shaft lock nut Transmission Cover O-Ring Transmission Gasket Set dog tooth ring tool There's also a few engine pieces to replace and add a new cutch cable and helper spring. I still have to decide if I'm upgrading the clutch and whether or not to install an LSD. Running out of time not to mention money.

Just dropped over $2000 in exchange for some snazzy transmission parts.
For the first time in months I have a free weekend but alas, parts won't be here till Monday  These cars move a lot quicker when they're not in pieces.Paul Eddleston BRAID Wheels USA www.BRAIDUSA.com Team Illuminata Motorsport www.teamilluminata.com |

Yeah not a cut and paste.
In other news we've been trying to track down another 911 or 240z for dad... Never in my life have I heard of so many scheisters in a used car market. The minute these cars started becoming more valuable everyone's idea of "Pristine" or "rust free" seems to have become defined by a Nigerian prince. 4 trips now only to come back with an empty trailer, Last car had multiple Dollar bill sized areas of rot on a "rust free" car. Another one missing a bowling ball sized chunk of clear coat, advertised with "pristine" paint. Lucky for me another urs4 popped up the same night we were in seattle, I took advantage of the empty trailer and now just need to pick it up from his shop. edit: sorry to derail, just venting a little frustration with a couple wasted weekends Really fun to follow the 911, maybe throw us a bone every now and again with an update on the quattro  Edited 1 time(s).

Parts have begun to show up
Kitty thought there was a bird in here. 
Maybe one of these magnets will work in my speedo ring. 
Still need Dog tooth rings before we can proceed. Due here tomorrow so a busy weekend ahead. I wonder if I can get the transmission all back together before Monday. Paul Eddleston BRAID Wheels USA www.BRAIDUSA.com Team Illuminata Motorsport www.teamilluminata.com |

Removed the dog tooth rings from first and second with the Porsche took. Started to clean parts and reassemble the pinion shaft.
Hope to have the box back together tomorrow. Paul Eddleston BRAID Wheels USA www.BRAIDUSA.com Team Illuminata Motorsport www.teamilluminata.com |

Got the new dogs pressed on at Auto Europe.
Beginning to look like a gearbox again.

I think it's safe to say this is now a gear box again.
I even put new bushings in the throttle link rod thingy. 
Now I just need the new clutch kit to arrive. Paul Eddleston BRAID Wheels USA www.BRAIDUSA.com Team Illuminata Motorsport www.teamilluminata.com |

I picked up some Castrol transmission oil. Thought we'd give it a try.
and the new clutch arrived from Pelican. 
No, we didn't forget to install the ring gear. 
Offered it up to the engine which accepted it graciously. 
And slapped it all back in the car. 
I hope to drive it home tonight Paul Eddleston BRAID Wheels USA www.BRAIDUSA.com Team Illuminata Motorsport www.teamilluminata.com |
