Re: Metal shavings in a manual trans
On the 465 grab the gears and try to forcibly twist them back and forth. There is a sintered metal bushing between the shaft and gear itself. The bushing can wear and cause the gear to move around. Honestly this is the only wear I have seen on a 465 other than worn synchro dogs. As for the tail and the adapter. I have ran worse with no ill effect. After 40+ years a little wear is to be expected. Lastly the 465s are loud and make all kinds of racket, especially in the lower gears. These are my opinions and others may disagree
