new bushings for the idler/reverse gear for the 3 speed trans in a 1946 1/2 thx for any help | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,841 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,841 | If the gear itself is not damaged, any competent machinist should be able to fabricate and install a bushing in it. He would need the gear, and the shaft it rides on to fit the bushing to the proper clearance. I've done things like that on numerous occasions when a suitable part was not readily available.
