Put it back in the car with no change. Pulled it again, this tore it all the way down, found nothing, put it together and back in and still didn't work. This was 40+ years ago when I thought you could get lucky and just by taking it apart and putting it back magic would fix it. I've lost that belief. Tore it apart again and just happened to pull on the brass syncro ring and it spread. It was split thru in one spot and above 4000 it would open up enough not to fit as it should.

Thank's. I had to chuckle about your comment.... "get lucky and just by taking it apart and putting it back magic would fix it".....It took 6 fruitless tries, but got her done. Thanks to everyone on board or I'd still be knocking my head up agaisnt the wall.
