M35A2 transmission problem

as cheap as the gears are, i would not use pitted teeth.

Your killing me...lol. Im going to run these teeth for now. I dont want to invest too much into this transmission. This is the last season for this transmission. Id like to put the Spicer 3053A in. It looks like the ratios in that transmission with benefit me better then the 3053

don't fall for that! that is old incorrect information that has been around for a long time. ALL 3053 spicer trans in mil trucks are the same ratio regardless of the letters at the end. .78 is the ONLY 5th gear ratio.

Sorry to tell you but its the same ratio...
Count those teeth on the countershaft: drive gear is 42T; 5th is 46T. For ALL 3053 transmissions!



Oooops.... Tom , you typed faster! LOL

WOW, thanx tom. In that case ill get new gears. Thats what i get for relying on other websites vs research in TOs and research in this forum.

Thanks again
