I found a broken synchro blocking ring? , Where to get new one?

[chaseman]

Got my input shaft taken apart and the synchro blocking ring? for the high range (I think) is bent and cracked from someone beating on the input shaft trying to get the holding plate to sit.

Anyhows , where and can I get a new one? or is it a totally vital part? (I know kinda a dumb question and would probably make it impossible to shift into high range without turning engine off or something by not having it on)

 

This is in a EA82 5mt D/R

 

Here's where I took off the blocking ring

 

Here's the blocking ring alone on my counter

 

And ignore the hammer , it was involved in only getting the pin outta the dual range shift lever.

Dealer only or used from another tranny. Those are the only options.

Sweet , thanks dude. I'll hit up dealership tomorrow.

[GeneralDisorder]

Be prepared - you will have to order it and its possible that its discontinued.

Okay and I was afraid of that. Also what if i didn't put it back in? Would it just be a tough shift , I'm more curious then serious.

So ended up finding a new block ring although it may have involved a man in black at the cross roads. Anyhows , any tips on transmission reassembly?

Make sure the dowel in the case lines up with the hole in the mainshaft bearing and don't bend the pinion depth shims. That's all off the top of my head.
