Getrag 232 Question

[asiahm]

Ref: 1970 BMW 2002ti VIN 1690945 4Speed Manual

I have taken apart the Getrag 232 transmission because it jumped out of 2nd/3rd gear upon hard acceleration (initially) and later it became hard to shift into 2nd and 3rd gears. I could not find anything wrong with the gear shift linkage. However, the main shaft gears are slightly out of alignment with those on the layshaft (see pic). Also, the gap between 2nd and 3rd gears on the main shaft is a bit more than that of the corresponding gears on the layshaft. Is this normal? There isn't any play/endfloat Can anyone suggest how to correct this gap/mesh alignment?

Thanks

I don't know frankly, have not done one of these yet. However, you might be well off if you contact Rob of Precision Gearing, he rebuilds these on a regular basis and might be willing to help.
