Why not go with a clutch pack, Torseen is basically the same as open but it can transfer 75% of the torque instead of 50%, it will still slip like crazy on turns with g-force.

I have a 74 1/2 MGB. I usually start it up a couple times during the winter here in NC, and come spring, it'll fire right up and run like a sewing machine. Not so this time. The battery went stone dead, as I did not start it over the past couple months. It turns over but will not idle. I placed some gas in the carb (Weber) and it'll crank but then die. I'm only 3 min. into the video, so hopefully will pick up something to help me. I really don't want to tow it to the mechanic!
@slowmotorco2 ай бұрын
I had a similar issue and ended up having to rebuild both the carbs as well as the fuel pump. It will start right up now but gas now pours from the charcoal canister so I am still trying to diagnose myself. I hope it goes smoothly for you! Best of luck

Not realizing what i was doing during another job, I unbolted the holddown clamp for the synchronizer and spun it around multiple times, every which way (trying to remove it for another reason) and then decided I dont want to remove it. I repositioned it so it is facing the exact same orientation as before (which is evident due to the lack of grease where the hold down clamp was) - did i mess up any timing by doing that or am I good to start up? I never moved the crankshaft during the process so it is in the same position as before I touched the synchronizer, it is also not in TDC if that makes a difference.
@slowmotorco7 ай бұрын
A bit of a technical question and honestly above my paygrade. Theoretically you should have no issue if everything is in the same position, but I can't be absolutely certain on that one. May want to do some additional research before attempting to start. Good Luck!
@Megadeth42427 ай бұрын
@@slowmotorco Thanks for the response. I came to the same conclusion - I removed the sensor on top so I can see the position indicator "flag" in the synchronizer and I repeated what I had done previously and rotated the housing of the synchronizer around and observed that the position indicator did not move during the process.

Does this fix the oil gauge flickering
@slowmotorco7 ай бұрын
not to the best of my knowledge
@jeremydavis48093 ай бұрын
No it doesn't. I found this out too. The oil pressure sensor is right next to it. It has a single wire ( I believe it's red color). The sensor itself is only about an inch in length and has a little screw in knob into the block right next to the cam synchronizer. If there's a bad connection like mine does, the oil pressure guage on the dash will flicker up and down. The red 'CHECK GUAGE' light will also pop up on the dash because of it. It might be a 19mm If I can remember. You can buy a new connector to the sensor and rewire it to fix that problem. Edit: as long as you continue to check your oil, relax. If you feel like changing the oil pump and screen, The oil pump is mechanically driven and can be found if you pull the oil pan down. I praise ford for this because Dodge trucks oil pump is located behind the harmonic balancer and requires the timing cover to be taken off. Screw that. Cheers

You should be using the alignment tool kit that ford makes for the synchronizer that’s why it wasn’t wanting to slide down easy. It’s within a specific degree range and the engine has to be wound to top dead center. Are you still having issues with it ?

Why does everyone recommend using a Ford part for replacement when the piece of crap part I'm having to replace was a Ford part? No way I'll use a Ford part.
@joeymccord80298 ай бұрын
because the other parts are the exact same design as ford, but made in China, and therefore have less production quality. Specifically the Dorman, Duralast, and other generic auto part store brands have a horrible shaft that comes out of the box with about as much play as a worn out (replacement needed) Ford one. Dumb to throw in a worse version of an already crap part.

Depends on the issue, if it is squeaking the whole synchro needs to be swapped. If you're getting a code for the sensor then theoretically you could just replace that. It isn't a particularly expensive part and relatively easy swap so I personally would just say to swap the whole thing
