Took it apart, didn't note which way it came apart. Which way does it go back together??? If you look at the outer ring it has a taper. The cage is tapered and the the center (star) is tapered. If you look at it on the bench and don't move the ring that leaves the cage 2 ways to go in and the star 2 ways to go in. BUT,,,you could rotate each of those 6 diffrent ways. I have reassembled it about 12 to 14 diffrent ways. Some just don't work at all. The ones that are close are still "notchy". Hangs up at one place. Balls look good as do the cage and starr. Really very little wear. Searched thr foto site but no joy. Thanks for any help. Also to Steve and Larry. Got it to shift in auto and manual,,,up and down. Thanks in advance,,,PL

Unless it is well lubed with some type of moly grease it will be notchy. It
never runs smooth dry. There is a special grease to use but I cannot
remember the name of it. I'm sure someone will chime in.
Thanks

Valvoline Synpower is the one I heard of. Better than Mobil 1 especially as far as staying homogenious and not getting the red runs.

Paul,
Since you've got alignment and mixed ball problems, it may not help, but
I've been personally involved with 4-5 of those joints that needed only the
Valvoline Synpower grease, with MSO2, to cure the binding. Beyond that, I'm
lost.

It has been several years but I seem to remember that mine was "notchy" at shallow angles but ran smooth at the angle that it is used.
I need to clean and lube the "other" coach so I'll need to remember....
