I'm getting ready to put a new clutch in the Bugeye. As I will have the
engine out, I will ask my mechanic to take a look at the tranny an replace
the 2nd gear balk ring. I cannot currently downshift into second unless the
car is just about stopped. My problem is in locating a balk ring.
As I understand it basically floats until it is engaged onto the cone
synchronizer?? I do not need the 2nd gear with it's press fitted cone, I
only need the balk ring, right? Anyway, sources for this dude would be
helpful. I believe the part number is 2A3333. If I cannot locate one, I
guess I'll just have to keep making turns in 3rd. What a drag.
