[QUOTE="Black2, post: 1410998, member: 17367"] For the last few years, I've been experiencing what I thought was wheel slip. After reading several threads here and concluding that it's likely 2nd gear, I decided to pull the engine and check things out. Sure enough, it's 2nd gear. Other than very minor rubbing on the shift fork and some rounding of the dogs, the internals look very good for 80K miles. Quick question for those who've dealt with this: Is it necessary to replace the 2nd and 5th pinion gears (parts 8&9 in the link below) in addition to 2nd and 5th gear wheels (27&30) and the shift fork? My thoughts are not required with straight cut gears, but I'd like to ask those with more experience. Thanks!
