Shift fork noise

DanMD · Mar 16, 2019

I am in the process of finishing up a complete overhaul of my transmission in my SMD. I replaced all bearings, seals and several gears including all of the slider gears. I replaced the poppets and springs for the forks and didn't see any issues with the forks. I carefully put the operator platform on the trans today and hear a scraping sound as I was turning the bull pinion shaft with all of the sliders in neutral. It scrapes for maybe 60 degrees of each revolution at the same spot. I think it is a fork rubbing on one of the slider gears. There was no noise before I put the deck on today. I don't think it is 4/5. Is this an issue or will it harmlessly wear in?

Thanks,
Dan

I forgot to mention I don't have the shifter on yet, but it shifted fine into all of the gears using a screw driver.

If you put it in all the gears with the clutch blocked down does it still scrape. If not, you are probably correct. Which fork might be detected that way. Jim
