I'll share this as well, from High Gear, but since this is one of the better NSG370 threads I've found. He talks about shifting forks, shows some that have no plastic, but he points out that the ends of them are rubbed down (metal rubbed away) where our plastic forms are, and it's from resting your hand on the shifter and basically pushing it against the edge of the slider in the transmission. It will also bend the end of the fork as well over time. Either way, creates slop etc. So, if you keep your hand on and push against it "while cruising for chicks" ha, the plastic forms will have a longer life.
I love his point on the clutch....it's the LAST thing he talks about. My brother is a 30 year mechanic that now drives big rigs for oil companies out of Houston. "Float the Gears" I hear all the time, starting with my own brother. This guy, who makes money rebuilding Transmissions, says what I think it 100% truth, Big Rigs are built differently, floating is necessary. Our Jeep transmissions are not built for that, over time it rubs the synchros.
