Steel Reverse Sliding Gear by Omix-ADA®. Direct Fit. OE Style. Transmission gears take the engine's power and multiply it, apply it directly, or reduce it to turn the output shaft and the rear wheels, thereby keeping the engine in its torque curve while providing a wide range of vehicle speed, including reverse. Broken or damaged gear teeth can cause transmission noise and difficulty shifting. If one of your transmission gears are defective, Omix-ADA has the new replacement that will have you shifting smoothly again.
Position: Reverse |
Gear ratios are selected for optimal performance and fuel economy. Lower gear ratios (higher numerically) multiply the engines torque to initially move and accelerate the vehicle. Higher gear ratios (lower numerically) provide less engine torque but allow higher vehicle speed. This allows the vehicle to cruise at highway speed at low engine rpm for better fuel economy.
A gear problem will usually be associated with a particular gear, not all gears. Listen for noise in each gear and shift the transmission through all gears, feeling and listening for hard shifting, gear clash, or the inability to shift into a gear. When the transmission is disassembled, inspect each gear for chipped, cracked or broken teeth. The gear bore should be smooth and it should fit properly on the mainshaft. Check the synchronizer blocking ring mating area for smoothness and inspect the clutch teeth.
If symptoms and inspection determine the need for a new transmission gear, get the one that's designed and specifically manufactured for your Jeep. It's made to fit and function the same or better than original equipment, so you can be assured that installation will go smoothly and operation will be flawless. The manual transmission gear is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
