Ok guys I need a show of hands of who wants these, so I know how much stock to order. I have stock to do (60) 3-4 pads, but may need more depending on interest. I will be doing 630 bronze 1-2-5 pads and 3-4 pads. Since alot of you guys are talking about adding extra pad to the shift fork Im going to be selling these individually. The price is $8.50 per pad. I am NOT giving any discounts for buying in bulk, so it 8.50 if you buy 1 pad or 1000 pads. To make things easy on myself, shipping will be a $5 USPS flat rate box, or envelope. Payment will be made through paypal or a money order. When paying through paypal If you choose NOT to gift the payment you will need to add 3% to your total. I think doing a list like in other group buys worked the best. Only put your name on the list if are 100% sure you will be buying them. list info should be your TM screen name, your actual name, quantity of 1-2-5 pads, and quantity of 3-4 pads.

Disclaimer:
These pads are in NO WAY guaranteed to last any given mileage. I am simply making what you guys (the TM community) wanted in the alloy you wanted.

It's been a year or two since I had my trans apart. how many do I need to do a whole trans assuming adding the extra pad at 12 o'clock?

Stock uses 4 total for 1-2 and 5, so if you add a 12-oclock for 1-2 that means 5 of those (assuming you dont want, and not sure why you would want 12oclock for 5th) then 3-4 uses 2 of those, 12-oclock for that wouldnt use that pad

5 of the 1-2-5's and 2 of the 3-4's. The 5th gear fork doesnt really take to adding the 3rd pad very well (its hardened machined steel vs softer cast like the other two). Also though make sure you dont have a 1990 transmission because the 3-4 fork is wider and these inserts wont fit it without falling out. To add the 3rd pad to the 3-4 fork you'd probably be better off using the older black fork pad or its bronze replacement no matter what year your working on.

Maybe i am not reading the posts correctly, but what pads are necessary for the 12:00 pad on the 1/2 fork and 3/4 fork?

Thanks,
Pat

The 1-2 12:00 pad is just an extra 1-2-5 pad, so you need 3 of those for the 1-2 fork

The 3-4 is a little difficult cuz the 3-4 pads won't work well for the 12:00 position because the middle part is off-center

135sohc
07-05-2012, 10:37 PM
[/URL]I fitted a 520/555 black fork pad into the 3rd position. in this case since I had a 90 only 3-4 fork to work with I also used the black pads since they are almost the same thing as the 90 only 3-4 pad except the 'notch' isnt centered.

With the least amount of support out at the end the 5th gear fork should have at least a 3rd pad. Its hardened steel so it will have to be ground instead of filed. Im going 4 pads in 1-2 and 3-4 at 10 and 2 oclock and 3 in 5th. Adam I will have a count here in a few days on how many I will need for my 30 or so 568s....

What pads are you going to use for the two extra on the 3-4 fork?

CHRYNY
07-06-2012, 10:38 AM
Are these pads only good for the A568 or can they be used on a A520 or A523?

The 523 and 543 use the same forks and pads as the 568 so yes these will work for them.

These will not work in the 520 or 555 as those use a thinner width pad on all positions.

Had my 1st TC Masi/Getrag 284 5 spd failure in the white TC, wasn't beating on it(says my Bro...) just driving it and it windowed the case. So it needs a 523 swap now.

I am kind of surprised that there is not more interest in these. I thought Craig had a lack of interest in his group buy, due to the high buy in, and not offering the 3-4 pad to make a full set. I guess people just dont see the need for these. Anyway a little update I have about (42) 3-4 pads done, and will be finishing the rest them up this week. I ordered the stock for the 1-2-5 pads, and will be starting them as soon as the stock shows up.

Thanks Adam

post #17 on the first page. The 3-4 fork is wider because of the different pad so you cant use the 91+ 3-4 pad on a 90 only fork, they will fall off in short time from normal usage. The 3-4 fork from a later transmission can be used with no ill effects. Or you can retrofit the older 520/555 black pad used on those 3-4 & 5 forks or wait for the bronze version of the black pad and use that also. The 1-2/5 forks-pads are the same for all years and not an issue.

Hello Adam:

Can you send me another order of the following quanties of (A568/A523) pads with the A555/A520 pads that I ordered on the other thread when they are done.


CHRYNY, Ron (5) 1-2-5, (2) 3-4

my reservations towards these were greatly diminished once I saw the actual product/material in my hand. Bronze/brass just evokes a soft material that wouldnt last, this alloy is nothing like that. Cant wait to get a set installed and see how they do.

Glad you like them :thumb: BTW, the bronze ones that came out (will post pics in other thread) did act plastic-ish when reverse went, absorbed chunks of metal, smashed instead of break, etc.

1-2 and 3-4 now have these pads in them, planning trip to track tomorrow!

I have had mine going now for a couple thousand miles of daily driving in moderate to heavy traffic, so lots of shifting going on. So far its been going well. If the shifter housing wasnt such a PITA to remove & reseal I'd take mine off right now and give an update on how things are holding up but I have a good feeling all is well. I do have a drain plug and have drained it a few times to check for excessive metal flake and havnt seen any.

Still rocking solid. Pulled the shifter housing to inspect and drain the oil to switch back to 5w30 for the warmer weather. Only see the front 3-4 fork pad but even it looks excellent, not noticeably worn/grooved. Oil was clean and not full of golden glitter so I'd be safe to assume the rest are still doing just as well.

I finally opened up my transmission and see that I have a messed up 3-4 and might as well change the rest.
I see you have a "few sets" and I am not sure about running an extra pad on each fork. I think I would be willing to buy a few sets.

Assuming these are compatible with a Large Spline a543/523...

same as a523. So I just need to know 523 vs 568.

Here is 3-4. As I said, a543 is identical to a523 less the bellhousing pattern.
I would like 1-2 and 3-4 sets.
