Is the splined 5th gear available anywhere?

Dean of Fairlady Products sells a gear ready to go in and replace the faulty design. Give him a call for the details.

Does anyone know how to fix it without replacing it with the newer style?

Ahh yes, I get your drift. :oops: Dunno as I have never done it personally. Give Mike Young a call and I am sure he will give you some tips on how to go about it. On the vendors page. Busy as hell myself. I don't know about anyone else but this year flew by at supersonic speed. :shock:

Good luck and let us know what you find out. --or better yet-maybe someone else will share their solution.

Cheers.....

Can the old style be welded to prevent slipping?

Hey Mike!
I had an unsplined 5th gear fixed for $30... they did a beautiful job of pressing the unit together and TIG welding the whole deal together. They even checked the clearances for me too! Give a shout if you can't get someone local to do it and I'll run it to the shop out here! :)
