Il nya pas la chaine francais pour mieux comprendre

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this. The warped rings in the kit will exhibit the same problem you were having. As the rings start to seat in they will grab the gear and synchronize better.

Thank you

Glad I could help. Thank you very much!

Thank you

*Let me know if you are EVER in Oregon. Drinks on me.

Thanks. Ross always said there are no mistakes, only happy accidents.

@@GearBoxVideo Classic Ross, well said. The trans seems to working quite nicely after about a 100 miles.. Only one issue that rears its head now and then. upshifting from 3rd to 4th: Doesn't seem like the shift ring wants to fully engage over the gear. like there is not enough throw in the fork. when i let the clutch out the gear spins and i get a grind. Hard to say if it's just the cheapo Sta-lube GL4 I am using for break in or something else. Seems like i has something to do with the gear spining at the 1:1 ratio? every other gear engagement feels great. Up and down shifting. Any thoughts?

Yes Mr. Paul.....you are a TRANSMISSION GENIUS.......Waaawwwwww.......

Thank you

Thanks so much for watching

Thank you

Thanks

thank you for that tip

Thank you

Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. Much appreciated

My pleasure!

Please send me info on your parts to support@5speeds.com

Nope

Thank you. Best wishes to you.

Addison Theodoridis great tip, take the time to post a video for us.

The maindrive and output press fits so you can probably heat the inner ring up of the bearing and slide it in but I wouldn't be tapping these bearings on while the main shaft is in place you could ruin the input shaft synchronizer ring. I see what you mean about the lower cluster bearing but since that lower bearing is a split bearing with a nylon cage you risk damaging the cage.

Appreciate it

Thanks for watching!

Go for it!

Any idea what the w58 3rd gear spline count is? I cant find a replacement 3rd gear at all. The ax5 is apart of the w family. Any chance you know if the 3rd gear from that fits? I know the ratio is off

Glad to hear it

Yes and a much more precise fit. Old Muncies had horrible tolerances.

I had the Cressida for 17 years and then it was totaled. But someone got that good tranny after it went to the boneyard. Very few Cressidas had the W58. I called it my "Four Door Supra".

Thank you.

David is very knowledgeable and a great guy

Thank you

Watch the video and look at the gear. Look at its relationship to the lower gear. Think it thru. You cannot do that

I second your request. I just need to replace the input shaft on my W59. I watched the video carefully and think there is still a lot of disassembly. Looks like both the main and countershaft need to move forward enough to spread them apart. But there's a lot of parts keeping that from happing easily.

Taking another look I see the input shaft and the 4th speed gear are one and what is keeping them from being removed is the 4th gear and bearing on the countershaft. So, if I can use a puller behind the 4th counter gear to pull the gear and bearing off, then the input shaft will simply slip off. Then I need to figure out how to press the counter gear and bearing back on the countershaft. More to come.

Thanks!

I don't have a core or parts

Thanks for watching. Post pics on my HIGH PERFORMANCE TRANSMISSIONS Facebook page. Direct link is www.transmissionbook.com

@@GearBoxVideo once it's done, I'll do that...

I have to rebuild my w59 & 1st gear is ruined. Do you know if the 1st gear is replaceable on the input shaft or is it part of the shaft itself. Same question regarding the 1st gear on the counter shaft.

They are all 1 piece

Very similar and I don't think the press fits are as severe

Thanks for the reply. Cause i know you have to be a busy guy. Usually the guys with knowledge are. Well as of yesterday,my transmission started making a rattling sound. It does it in neutral, and also in 1st 2nd 3rd 5th. I definitely sounds like a bearing. It doesn't do it in 4th. I read that if it doesn't do it in 4th than its probably the counter shaft bearings, cause 4 th gear is the 1:1 and the counter shaft doesn't turn. On this r150f tranny. Luckily, my buddy has a extra tranny that i am fixing to swap out. I work 90 miles from where i live and didn't want to take the chance on making it worse or getting stuck on the side of the road so i called in and took off, and i am fixing to swap it out. But i am going to have to rebuild mine and give his back or trade him or whatever. Times are tuff and i will have to rebuild the tranny myself. I have another friend that has presses and bearing pullers and everything i think ill need. Is there any specific tools that you think i might need? Also what rebuild kit would you use ? Hopefully its just bearings and seals and thats all ill need cause after looking on the internet i can get a bearing and seal kit for around 200 . From Cobra transmissions. Ive never done this and so im not sure on who to order from. Where do you usually get your parts from? I know i need to use oem bearings and parts from what everyone says,so thats what i looked for. And it will be a couple of weeks before i can order anything,and i want to disassemble it before i start ordering anything. So just tell ur thoughts on who you get ur parts from or reliable people to order from, and any advice you might have for a first timer on rebuilding the r150f. Thank you for your time.

Never press directly on the pilot section. always use a sleeve. You have to monitor the press, especially if it is electric. I try to get parts direct from Toyota or Lexus. The kits are garbage.

The gears have been an issue. The engagement teeth get distorted over time.

@@GearBoxVideo Thanks for your prompt response! I was suspecting something like that. Well, your video series has given me the confidence to know I can tear it down and put it back together. Now I just need the parts. I've found a few sources for rebuild kits, but I haven't been able to scare up the actual gears. I want to be prepared for worst case before I start. Do you have any ideas of where I might source fifth gear for a W50? And thanks again!

There are a few people selling 5th sets on Ebay. They are all from the same manufacturer

@@GearBoxVideo I'm finding gear sets for W55, W56, W58, W59 ... Not seeing anything for W50. Any chance they're interchangeable with the W50 gear set?

My customer purchased the whole kit.

You can't bench test the gear train because the case maintains the center to center clearance. So your comment makes zero sense.

We don't allow video links here and again... the guy in the video is accomplishing nothing. Spacing and shift rail alignment are constrained by the cases. Ends of the rails are held by the cases, shafts are held by the cases. So again the guy is accomplishing nothing other than making sure he has everything back in the proper place which if you know what your are doing this is not needed. I've done over 100 of these type of builds in 40 years of business. Never an issue. Also you don't have to check that the sliders and hubs shift when it's all assembled. That should be done before you assemble the gear train. Shifting the assemblies with no rails in place as in the video can also cause the assembly to over shift and cause the struts to pop out. Especially on the 3-4 since the input is not held in place. So again this is meaningless and a poor way of checking your work and can also cause issues and a reason why I don't do this.

@@GearBoxVideo Makes sense Thank you 👍

Maybe some day, but business is subjective. You should start part time as a hobby and build into it.

As Paul suggests, start it as a hobby and you may want to hook up with a few junk/recycling yards in your area. See if you can get their returned transmissions, or ones with outside physical damage, that they can't sell. You can then repair them, and sell them back to the yards or sell them on the Craig's List in your area.

No I haven't

I use Permatez 51813

Thank you! Cheers!
