I can’t say I have ever seen a main shaft nut come off like that in the years I was building transaxles. Weird.
Since you’re going to be in it, might be worth getting rid of that brass shift fork for 1/2 and getting a steel one.
The shift plates showed a little wear, but the cause of the problem was the gear stack getting loose (from the nut that fell off). I peened the nut in place, and used a little loctite. We had some better shift plates that I swapped out, and new synchros while this far apart.

Woo wee. That was a lot of grinding. I am like a sissy when it comes to grinding metal. I need goggles I hate getting shit in my eyes especially metal😬 I did pretty good I think I got all the metal out of my Ballz. Thanks for the help kcw. Hopefully a bad ass upgrade for the TRIP to BBB.
Dan G’s 66 beetle here for some love. We found the number 1 cylinder at 78% indicating a bad exhaust valve. Pat removed the engine and disassembled to a short block for inspection. It had dished pistons, worn exhaust valve seat, and bad lifter/cam contact surface. I suggested a rebuild at Painter’s Grinding. Dan approved.
I think this engine is one of those late 90’s all new long-blocks you could get from VW by the lack of numbers and Audi emblems on everything.
All of the lifters had a similar surface and I could feel the texture with a pick.
You’re good to go Ragdaddy. It was a simple corroded spade terminal on the starter.
I cut/crimped a new end on the wire and the starter switch functions perfectly.
^^^ Easy peasy…drivers are the best!!!
Worked on Eric’s ‘65 sunroof today. Goal was to knock out most of the interior insulation, carpet, floors mats, etc.
Started cleaning/prepping and found a bit of rust that needed attention first. Pass side heater channel repairs engulfed most of the day.
Required an inner section of heater channel.
Outer section also.
And a chunk of fender well.
Repaired
Knocked out some interior install work as well. GOOD DAY!!!
We will build it if it comes.
Unexpected rust repair right before interior install.😁

Antonio’s bus from Durango here for some electrical and loose ends.
The steering box was hard to turn because the adjuster was turned in too far and locked down extra tight. I couldn’t break the adjuster loose because the steel insert in the housing was spinning.
Awsome, thanks Franz I’ll stop by after work and grab it.
