I am in the process of rebuilding a 4 speed 3 syncro gearbox and as a part of that rebuild I will replace the syncro springs and balls. I notice that where the balls sit on the hub splines when engaged in 4th gear there are slight indents worn over time. Is there any reason why the hubs cant be assembled in a different position so that the balls sit on different unworn splines? Can this also be done for 2nd gear syncro hub as well?
Also what are the reasons for loosing balls from the 2nd syncro/first gear hub? I only retrieved 2 of the 6 from mine with 1 other in the bottom of the box. I'm guessing that too much play in the gearset would cause this but what is acceptable and how much is too much?
