stripping dizzy gear March 23, 2016, 02:27:51 AM OK this is the 3rd time that my TC has stripped teeth on dizzy gear and auxiliary shaft and I know this I common problem on TC and I know I should had pulled oil pan and cleaned all metal out so some of this is my fault but I've read a lot of forum on this issue but haven't been able to figure out how to fix it permanently I like the car but one guy said he was stripping gears every 5k miles so he sold it . What is causing it? If I pull the pan clean it and replace pump would that fix or could it be a barren problem if it is a barren problem then I might b selling a TC but there isn't any play when aux shaft is n and it feels good when I put it in like I said this is 3rd time would like to fix but I don't want or need it breaking again in 3k- 5k mile any suggestions would b helpful and not ruling out selling I've had to fix so many problems in the past three yrs that it's starting to get to me.
