Eriks Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I have two 5 speed dogleg transmissions from 610s in the garage. I know nothing of their mileage or history and I've never tried them i a car, they just came along with some other parts that I bought. Now I'm thinking of keeping one and selling the other. I want to keep the best one, but how do I know which one is best? All advice is appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Take them both the transmission shop and have them inspected. Have them do a service on one and keep that one. Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 At the very least look at any remnants of gear oil left and rotate the input shaft in each gear feeling for any crunchyness or binding as well as output shaft movement in all gears. I did it that way over a decade ago with my ZX 5spd and everything seemed well so I tossed it in, it's been great so far. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 You can turn them by hand..but with out cracking the case you probably won't know if your going to get a 4th gear grind, etc. Quote Link to comment
Eriks Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 OK thanks. There is no transmission shop where I live so this I have to figure out myself as best as I can. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Make a hand drill adapter and test each gear with a good spin. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Take the drain bungs out. They have a magnet in them. I imagine the oil was removed long ago but the bungs may have just been put back in without cleaning them. If they have a black paste on them this is normal. But if they have this, it's not good... This one isn't too bad a few filings but no broken off bearing parts. 1 Quote Link to comment
