Ok, switching up the question a bit now for you or anyone else willing to chime in. I got the trans out today, side cover and tailcover off. Replaced all of my seals and what-not but I’m not so sure about this reverse idler gear and thrust washer. To my untrained eye this looks like excessive wear to me. Would you agree?
The first picture is the back of the thrust washer as it sits on the gear, second is the face of the washer that makes contact with the gear and third is obviously the case. It seems to me that the washer should have a tang sticking out to fit into the notch in the case to prevent it from spinning. But even if that were the case why is there so much wear between the washer and gear?
