What should I be looking for on a used 4 speed to determine if it needs to be rebuilt or its good to go? If everything looks good are there any little things I should just do while its our of the car? Any tips would be great.

Thanks,

Steve

All about the internals. Rebuilding one of these isn't too bad either. I just did mine this past year. Like the other guy said just open the cover and move all the sliders and the input shaft. check for missin teeth or anything. If anything the sliders will be missing some. Passon Performance is where I got the new front and rear bearings along with the brass sliders. Call him and he should be able to tell you all you need to know. The bearing go out on these occasionally, but don't know offhand how to tell. Pull and push on input shaft to see if there is much play.

Drain the fluid out and see how much brass is in it , take off the side cover and look at the little teeth on the gears themself to see how ground up they are.

Pay attention to the side cover bolts , there is one of the shoulder bolts that has a shoulder that's longer than the rest , that one goes in a specific hole to locate the side cover .

Replace the gasket , probably be a good idea to change the others also , use the rear seal with the outer boot .

When in doubt call Wayne and Dan at Brewers.
