Here is a close-up of the finished shift fork tip.
While we were WPC treating things, we got the hub and hub sleeve WPC treated as well.
Now the once-worn shift fork has a tight and precise fit and should work very smoothly and wear well to boot!

That’s really cool Mike. I love restoring used parts!
I used to do something similar to the Subaru 6MT aluminum shift forks for Super Production rallycars as the OEM plastic pads would break off pretty regularly. I just removed them, welded up material and then machined them. We used them on a few cars for years.
I would WPC the most random things if I had access to the technology/tooling. I still want to see a WPC treated brake rotor test to prove its effectiveness lol
Ooh, please Mike, test this!
Seems strange to me they wouldn’t just use a shift fork pads that can be replaced as opposed to consuming the fork itself.
Subaru was the only car I have seen this on.
Nice work Mike.
Would love to know more about how to “stone” the shift fork without messing it up
