unfortunately for this late 70 early 71 the vent side is factory rivited. So I drilled them out and used 12x screws with washers loctite and nut to put it back together, the whole job was about 35 minutes including a nice blasting and red oxide primer to the insides of the backing plate. The...

aint nobody put the new seal kit in know if I gotta cut these rivets off to gain access and where to get replacement rivets??

I've read a gillion threads but nobody has mentioned it... Are there factory style rivets I can get to replace the ones I obviously must drill out to rebuild/ recover with foam, the defrost flap in the heater box on a 71? What do you folks use?

I spent many years over on ford muscle forums doing just that. thank you once again

You are the best, thank you, It was in the wrong side forward. Went back together like butter until I had to fight the darned new snap rings, all is well and this boy is happy again.

Thank you I'll do that. YOU ROCK! unless it don't work, lol

OK any ideas on the gap in the second from front synchro? That's a hell of a lot of slop. any thoughts are appreciated

OK, made an account for pictures, maybe they'll show this time and yall can tell me where the issue is. pic planting is a pain in the poniard

It engages, but the space is so prolific that the synchro is allowed to drop between the two and bind if the tranny is rocked back and forth

All good points, but the SPACE between the synchro and the lead clutch fork in neutral makes the SPACE between the synchro and the base and the slide very very large, that's wherein my issue lays. Any advice> Maybe top gear snap ringed into the back shaft is backwards>

https://ibb.co/fN7TXK As seen here, the front shift slide goes forward perfectly, and back eventually perfectly, but the synchro going backwards has a huge gap. I'm curious if I flipped that darn gear/slide the slide works over the wrong way on reassembly...

No sir, there are no roller bearings trapped. I wonder if it's possible I have the top slide gear (don't know it's name) upside-down.... I rebuilt an identical unit 33 years ago when I was 18... didn't have this issue then. I thought it was the front rollers as well but it's not, In fact I...

I hope the pic links work... And the gap is unsettling

I had pictures in there.... UGH... https://ibb.co/hNMu6e

OK here's the dealio.... Just put new synchros in it and put it all back together but I have a gap issue and I am wondering if anyone can point out what I did wrong.... Thanks Folks https://ibb.co/mnMu6e https://ibb.co/fN7TXK https://ibb.co/bDHvCK https://ibb.co/hNMu6e
