A&Q about 350Z
Q:
Hi all,
I've been having some trouble finding the answers to a couple questions, and I thought maybe ya'll could help me w/ them.
-What are two reasons why the diamter of the mainshaft is larger for 3rd or 4th gear than the rest of the shaft?
-If the front seal is leaking and the tranny is installed on the vehicle, what P/T component can be affected and what symptom would it show?
-What damage may occur if the countershaft is driven out from the back of the housing?
-What are two possible reasons of a repetitive rear tranny oil seal leak?
-5 locations where the tranny fluid may leak out from?
- If second gear in the countershafdt is damaged, how can it be repaired?
-Two reasons why the thrust washers are used in the countershaft as opposed to having it press fit in the housing?
-Why are the synchronizers splined to the mainshaft and the spd fears are not?
Thanks in advance for all your help.

First of all, I love you, but you gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta list car, year, engine, transmission, and other relevant info. I have no idea if you're driving a Camaro with a Th350 or a Packard with a three on the tree.
tranny pan gasket, front input seal, dipstick hole, (if automatic) rear output shaft seal, drain plug (if you have one).
My guess, though is you have a manual. Care to tell us what we're talking about?
A:
curtis, i think he is just talking generally(for a autoclass?) not about a certain car. but we are talking about manual transmissions right?
i'm *guessing* you spend more time in those gears or put on more load then in others, needing more lube and cooling? or two make sure the gears are in the right order? some mainshafts are disassembled from both ends in, and the middle is thicker so parts can't slide over IIRC
clutch soaked in oil, clutch sliping
excessive endplay in rear bearing for one, the other i would guess would be a problem with the driveshaft and/or driveline
front seal/rear seal/shifter housing
depends, on some cars you would need to replace the whole countershaft. if it is a small amount of damage, you may be able to file it down. etherway, replace drive/driven gears in pairs.
IIRC to control endplay and to serve as a wear point
research "floating gear" principal
A:
Yeah, sorry, it's for a class. We're working on a Saginaw 3 spd manual tranny.
Thanks for all the help, dudes.
A:
Damn. I was hoping for the Packard with the three on the tree.
A:
would the school be UTI?
A:
Nope.
