Thank you!! I appreciate it, I’ve done it a few times and I wanted to spread the knowledge. I’ll have a diff shim video soon as well. The tools can be expensive but they are definitely worth it.
Amazing video... from where to get the whole setup to check endplay on my k tranny. It would have been nice if you had shown how to attach the setup as well
Amazing video thank you very much for the knowledge. If you don't mind me asking what do you use or what is your method to clean the gasket off of the case because it's a real pain in the ass
Thanks man! Honestly, I just used a new razor blade when scraping off the gasket and took lots of care not to scar the casing. A green scrubbing pad was used as well.
Do you need to only use the selected gears and parts on the mainshaft, or can I put everything on my mainshaft (fully assembled with all gears,synchros,etc.), when checking the thrust clearance? My Honda manual says to install only selected parts I believe, but does it matter if I just install everything? Thanks
Surprisingly, my measurements are the same as yours and require the exact shim size (1.56) for adjustment. Overall, your video was very helpful. Could you please tell me the part number for the 1.56 shim? I have B-18c Y80 transmission. Thank you sir.
The ring gear mates to the countershaft, is that what you meant? Yes you can use a used ring gear with a new mainshaft. Even a used mainshaft with a new (1-2) gear… which is what I’m doing. Just make sure it is the correct mating part and triple check clearances.
I think I assembled mine wrong last time and need to take it out again. It is either the diff shims that are wrong or the mainshaft I guess. When I take it out of first, for example at traffic light stop and go, it sounds like something is loose there clunking. Would this be the efect of having too much movement because of using wrong shims? Thanks
I don’t know if you changed the bearings but might be your input shaft bearing is bad, also check your reverse change holder and make sure the ball/plate us attached to the back or it’ll just float around slightly and usually creates a whining noise in gear
does this only have to be done if switching cases or mainshafts? what if your are doing nothing more than replacing synchros. first time messing with a b series, thanks.
Correct, only if you’re replacing cases, and shafts. I also check when I replace other hard parts such as hubs and bearings but it’s not entirely necessary. You’re good to go just replacing the synchros.
@@masterjack8222 I’ll say mostly yes, and I say that because there can be tolerance differences with new and old bearings. Check the inner race of the new and old bearing with a micrometer to see where they fall.
I do believe the mainshaft being out of spec was the culprit. It was the only thing I did not check when I went through it last. 4th gear/spacer/5th gear hub/mainshaft were damaged. The damaged mainshaft and spacer prevented the parts from mating.
This is a great video 💪🏽 you’re the real mvp
Thx man!! Just trying to spread the word on proper transmission rebuilding.
Wallet saving video! Thank you. Glad I found this
Thank you! I try man, more people should definitely learn about the inner working of their vehicles.
Nice job. Thanks on explaining this. This is the best I’ve seen so far. I wish I had the tools 😭
Thank you!!

Good technical stuff right here. Keep it coming.
Thx man! I'm trying!
Very informative bro, cant wait see her back on the road.
Differential shim and feeler gauge check please. Thanks!

I’ve always done what the manual calls for. I figure other wise it’d be too heavy for the tool and readings may not be accurate.

Awesome! I’m glad it was it was of use.
That number is: 23963-P21-000
Hello I have a question for you off topic, Would it be be OK to use a used ring gear along with a new mainshaft ?
Thank you

Yes you can use a used ring gear with a new mainshaft. Even a used mainshaft with a new (1-2) gear… which is what I’m doing. Just make sure it is the correct mating part and triple check clearances.
@@c2specmotoring yes I meant to say used ring gear on countershaft.
where do you buy the shims from? Arnt they discontinued for b series?
Some are if I remember correctly.
You can message me on IG @c2spec_motoring and I can see if I have what you need.
Any way you could tell me what the specs are on the shaft tool so I can make my own?
I think I assembled mine wrong last time and need to take it out again. It is either the diff shims that are wrong or the mainshaft I guess.

Do you have the part number for this tool and where do I find all the specs? I have a s40 that I need to do this to. Thanks
I made my own tool but I do have the OEM part number… give me a bit and I’ll post it on the description.
Can you do the diff shim video
I can most definitely do that!
Thx for the feedback!
I was just about to ask you this too.

@@c2specmotoring hijacking this comment, also good to go only replacing the input shaft bearing? fantastic content by the way. cheers
thank you, nice work

Good video.
Thx man, much appreciated.
My spare GSR trans will be opened up very soon which means more videos.
Dude where is your shop? Lol I’d drop mine off
I’m in AZ but I encourage all to dive into trans work!
So the mainshaft thrust clearance being out of spec overheated the spacer? What caused the spacer to not slide smoothly on the mainshaft?
I do believe the mainshaft being out of spec was the culprit. It was the only thing I did not check when I went through it last.
4th gear/spacer/5th gear hub/mainshaft were damaged.
The damaged mainshaft and spacer prevented the parts from mating.
