Re: Metal shavings in a manual trans
I finally got some time to pull the unit and look inside. There are no cracked or broken gear teeth, but some of the contact surfaces do show some strange wear patterns. See pics
What do you think? A bad bearing that's allowing the gears to move slightly, changing the contact pattern? I've never seen wear like this before personally. Usually constant-mesh gears have a shiny finish on the contact surfaces, or they are visibility broken
