Anyone did the NV5600 3rd-4th grind fix themselves?

[Rob Thomas]

Hey guys,



My ride is outta warrenty, and if I shift "proper" I don't experience any grind,but if I'm bangin' the gears i. e. drag racin',I get the grind. DOHH!!! I was practicing my launches yesterday, when I determined my trans has "issues".



I don't want to have the dealer do the fix 'onnacounta big $$$$, so I'll do it myself, I have access to all the tools I'll need.



Question,anybody did this yet? Wanna share some "tips"

Don't be shy, speak up, I'd rather not scatter my trans all over the Muncie dragstrip.



I was wishin' that the Amsoil would help,... ... ... ... ... not.



TIA Later,Rob

I asked a similer question a few weeks ago. I heard it takes a fairly large (10 ton?) press to get some of the work done. There is a counter shaft assembly available to save that portion of the work. I looked through my shop manual and the problem synchros are just about the last item removed when a complete tear down is done.

I think I'm going to just live with mine since I don't have a local dealership and I really don't want anyone else touching my truck.
