Hey guys, I'm going to have my W55 out of the donor car soon and I was wondering what if anything I should be doing to it while it is out (as I figure its the time to do it Smile )?

All the gears and the rest of the box (no bearing noise / synco troubles) seems great except for reverse (I know it doesn't have a synco but it has something similar doesn't it?), at anything more than idle revs it will clunk, or sometimes grind, if you try and select reverse. Is this a pain to fix while its out, and does it require specialized tools? If its only $20 and some time that would be tops.

Cheers
Wilbo

The W55 has no synchromesh on reverse, so it will always grind if the input shaft and/or output shaft is spinning when you try to select it. If this happens all the time, this means either you need to improve your driving style Razz or your clutch isn't disengaging properly.

As for your other question, definitely replace both end seals while the box is out. It's cheap and easy to do and you'll be cursing yourself if it starts leaking a few weeks after you install it.
