Trying to figure out why my reman 6-speed is failing...

Can't say for sure from vid, but doesn't look like the fork is seated onto the ball correctly.

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

yeah that is not on the pivot ball. Once against the pivot ball you have to smack the fork over the ball, so its retaining clip gets seated past the ball. The fork shouldn't be able to fall out of the trans once its seated on the ball.

I hope you guys are right...that wo be the best solution. If that ends up being it..ill be very sursurprised how the fork popped out in the first place.

I would replace the fork and ball if you bother to drop the trans.

[NOMIEZVR4]

Both were replaced less than 10k ago...ill make the final decision after separating the trans

So would the fork not being shimmed properly potentially cause the TOB/gear rattle that annoys me so much?

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

You shouldn't need to shim them unless something is worn out, but if they are not seated on the ball it would make some noise.

I'm fairly certain that it's seated on the ball properly. I'm thinking I'm probably going to order a new fork/ball for the new clutch install anyway.

For as much work as it is to drop one of these trans, I would definitely do that if you suspect anything. Shimming sounds great if you like dropping the trans for fun.
