n/a transmission rebuild
from what i can tell, the syncros are going out on my 88 GXL. That and the input shaft bearing is screaming at me. Im looking uoo rebuild kits, and there apears to be two of them. a 20.5mm and a 15mm bearing on the counter shaft.
is there any way to tell which mine has without tearing the case apart?

seen them on ebay
i looked closer at the listing and the title is a bit miss leading. they are for the 81-85 x7 and the 81-89 B2200. so the 20.5 is right.
as far as the tools go. i work at a chevy dealer, so i have access to a shop press and a few bearing splitters. anythign beyond that that i would need for the rebuild? ive rebuilt a few honda transaxles, this would be the first RWD trans ive don though.

Thanks for the info Lyger.
Vartok - you'll need a long *** bearing puller...as in the arms will be very long. Imagine the puller center on the main shaft and the arms (or was it bolts?) on a bearing over a foot away. IIRC. More of a tool used in a tranny shop. Your dealer may not have one.

i had to make my own from a generic 3 jaw puller and fabricated the arms to extend them about 1.5-2 feet.

you need a special bearing puller for the rear output shaft bearing. you might find something that will work from a GM special tool but you'll be spending a bit of time experimenting. a bearing splitter will not fit in there.

that is up to you, afaik there is no new transmissions anymore. parts to build a new one would be... expensive, assuming they're all available. you could either find tools to work, fabricate them, or have a transmission shop rebuild it, or do the disassembly items you need.
