    Parts to freshen up Getrag 260

    I searched and couldn't find an answer so here goes. I have my transmission out while I prep the engine for my m50 swap and want to know what parts should I replace while the g260 is out. I don't have a ton of money to spend and also want to avoid getting to deep into the transmission so I am just thinking wear parts and seals.

    Thanks

    Without the tools and specific expertise needed, the best you can do with the transmission is to replace all of the seals.

      best thing you can do on the G260 is replace the shift shaft, output and maybe input seals. Past this it requires splitting the case, at which point you would be better off using a different transmission....

        So far recommendations are Shift Shaft, Output and input seals. Anything else?

          That is it. Though I will always throughly clean the transmission while it out and I will always replace the clutch fork pivot pin.

                  Detent cover. Mine is/was leaking. I'm told they tend to warp with heat.

                  Part number 23-31-1-228-470
