63 T-10 Questions
Have a '63, April build, roadster with an original 4 speed T-10. It had an oil leak between the tail shaft housing and the bearing support so I removed and disassembled the transmission for reseal and rebuild. Have a few questions maybe someone can help me with.
-transmission was previously assembled with silicone smeared over both sides of all the housing gaskets, "o" rings and shaft and pin bores in the housing, Is this necessary ?
- Difficult to shift into 2nd gear after cold start for 5 minutes or so (or until transmission warmed up a bit) I have closely inspected 2nd gear, 2nd gear syncro, and slider and can see no wear, chips or defects. Shift fork doesn't show excessive wear and looks the same as the 3-4 fork. Any suggestions?
-who is the best supplier of a rebuild and seal kit. May also need a front (input shaft) bearing retainer nut and if nothing else I may change the 1-2 shifter fork.
thanks Joe
