Liberty Transmission Service
Called Liberty Transmission Service, (313) 278-4040, Talked to PAUL. Very knowledgeable & helpful. Also the cheapest prices I've ever been quoted for blocker rings!!!!!!! That's probably why they are so highly recommended!!!!!
They have a Kit of 1-4 Brass blockers. 5th. is OEM, but nobody should be banging 5th anyway, so no prob.
They have a Carbon Fiber reverse ring, that has a full face lining of Carbon Fiber! Not just the 2 skinny rings of fiber like the OEM rings have. They do a little custom machine work on the reverse ring so it fits better. Nice Touch!
He also explained that Ford (Mazda?) never corrected a design flaw in the reverse rings. The taper is wrong on the reverse blocker. Consequently, even though reverse is syncroed, you should never shift into reverse until you are completely stopped. That's something we've known for years, just never knew why!
I'm EXTREMELY happy with the service from Liberty Transmission. I recommend any 5-spd guys who need help, give them a call
Micah & Nick, you should check with them next time you rebuild somebodies 5-spd. Like I said, cheapest prices ANYWHERE!!!!!!
