A friend of mine is just replacing a new jeep trans. with a new jeep trans. (1000km) Reason: Incorrect oil. The Hypoid oil ate the bushes in the cluster.
Jeep has bronze bushes inside the cluster gear (counter or lay shaft) and the reverse idler as well as the synchro (baulk rings) The Dodge (New Process) and Ford 4 speed crash boxes have a bush in the reverse idlers. I assume the G.M. box has bronze bushes in the reverse idler as well.
Also, bead blasting is great for the gears as stated, but!.... Total cleanliness is absolutely imperative, after blasting. It gets everywhere!
On both counts, Beware!
