Couple of weeks ago I posted about a transmission in a WW2 landing craft that wouldn't go into the four syncronized gears. Tranny has five forward gears. Low is non-sycronized and the other four are syncro. We could get it into low but not the other four. Jim had suggested the syncro rings might be cracked or siezed.

He pulled off the driveshaft between the engine and tranny and I put an orbit motor on the tranny to spin it so the lube pump would work while we towed it to the neighbor's to have the engine replaced. The new engine is in and running and today he called to say the tranny now goes into all the gears. The vibes and jarring from the engine must have loosened things up. He was really excited and deservedly so. I can't wait to run over there to rear it run. Engine is a 7 cylinder Continental radial airplane engine and you can hear it coming! Jim
