Pantera #5357 ('73L)
This information ought to be applicable to ZF synchro analysis and repair in general. I hope this topic provides useful info.
I wanted to thank George for his help in moving and organizing this information. In some discussion between us, with regard to alternate soultions to issues with the ZF:
quote:.... finding alternative parts, but you've gotta be smart about it ... i.e. material compatibility, load rating, etc.
That is the point of this whole thread. Hopefully the discussion will reveal the adequacy or inadequacy of alternate approaches, but more likely it will be the use of them that tells the tale.
In the case of the ZF, it is hard to get any "test data" on alternate approaches - and that's a good reason that some would not consider anything other than a new gearset and synchro ring.
