I couldn't really find a resource for this.
I know there have been part supersession over the years but I don't know why. This question came up because I'm doing a little trans work and I was sorting through my box of old crap and I came across MD742536 synchro ring. If memory serves 1, 3 and 4 rings in a 2g trans are identical and I guess you could say 2nd also if it's a single ring. This is the larger rings. This particular ring does not have 39 teeth but 3 sections of 8 centered on the key slots so it's missing a lot of teeth. I also have a 2nd gear with angled teeth for engagement instead of the symmetrical teeth under the synchro ring.
Anybody care to comment on these items? Why the changes? When did the changes happen if known? Is any part better than another? We have discussed to death early 3rd gear vs later, double cone synchros etc etc. It's these small changes I'm curious about.
Unfortunately I don't know what year this is from. It's from a 2ga style trans I bought.
