I'm not sure if it is a DREAM trans, what should I look for? If it is a DREAM trans how does that effect shifting compared to a SUPERHAWK trans?
Thanks

I got my engine back from the machinist that bored, honed and bead blasted it, looks good!
I'm x'ing the transmission, I took a photo and marked the gears, let me know if something looks off. I'm ready to put the bottom end back to together, but I realize I'm missing the knock pins that hold in the bushings in place at the end of the spindle.
Until I get those small parts I'll start cleaning and taking apart a few more parts.

- If your bushing looks like the one on the right, you should consider replacing it :)

I am having an issue with my 1967 CB77 transmission. It doesn't turn over smoothly and when you add pressure to the bearing it becomes harder to turn the transmission over. The bearing also has up and down movement when it is rotated. I replaced the kickstart spindle because I thought the original had a slight bend in it and that was the problem, but it didn't fix it.
Here is a link to a video I uploaded to Youtube

What should I be checking for?
Thanks for any advice.

I'm putting the camshaft back into the cylinder head. I wanted to make sure the parts I'm using are okay. One camshaft looks a little discolored/ worn (see photo).
I checked the sprocket for any movement due to loose rivets and it is fine. There is less than.1" play in the weights, should I try and tighten the springs? The thin neoprene layer that is on the pegs under the weights appears to be worn down where the metal makes contact, is this a big issue? I tried taking a photo of this.

The sprocket will "TAT-TAP" if the neoprene is gone.
I'd use cloth sanding strip to smooth the cams and I'd for sure look at the followers for wear. .............lm
