Toyota T50 Tranny Question

[acpolish]

In need of some suggestions, (actually a cheap easy solution would be preferred).

Had what I thought was a tranny problem, but turned out to be a clutch pressure plate issue, anyway.... installed another T50 from an 84 GTS.

Shifts up beautifully and down... until 2nd gear. Won't go into 2nd until almost at a full stop. No grinding or anything, just wont go in gear, (almost like it's being blocked), unless I am almost stopped or I put into first, first, then it slides into second easy. Have tried double clutching, but it's inconsistent, sometimes slides in or it won't. Any ideas?

p/s: Only mod made was, to fabricate a 1/32 spacer to go between bell housing and engine to mate this tranny, (from a 4AGE, smaller flywheel and bell housing) to my engine, a 2TC, (w/ larger FW & BH).

p/ss: Before installing, opened it, but didn't move or do anything but a visual and there was no, (at least visible) sign of worn or damaged syncros.

The selector could possible be out of adjustment or the dog slightly bent. There is a punger on each side of the trans trail stock located on each side of the shift lever. The selector shaft contacts these pins to resticts the travel to align the shift dogs. I would try adjusting the stop to see if it would help. If it does not help you may have to tear it down to inspect the shift fork shaft and the gear set. It might be easier to just find another trans if the adjustments does not work. Count the number of splines on the output shaft first. [20 or 22] so the drive shaft will mate up to the tranny.

Thanks Dave.

Was unaware the "pungers" could be adjusted. I'll give it a look-see and let you know.
