Oh noooo - tranmission!!

Just a thought... while you have it out... have you considered adding...

- Breather vents to the T-Case and Gearbox?

- A reverse light switch to the gearshift housing? (it's hard to tell if one was fitted)


Cheers...

I thought I might as well describe the results of this project.

It took obviously longer than I anticipated due to the incorrect marking on the gear box (marked A but it was actually D and beyond), I did not order a wide enough variety of shims leading to delays, and I destroyed the lay shaft bearing a couple of times.

The 3rd and 4th sycnro felt very tight at first before I even fired it up and I was anxious about that. However, the tranny shifts great and does not leak. There is a seep at the speedo housing shims which I anticipated because it is a terrible design that simply will leak no matter what.

I find that it downshifts into 2nd (double clutch method) very well now with no grind.

All in all it was a fun project costing just over $1k. For this undertaking I suggest an attitude of patience. I ordered the majority of parts off shore and some here and there. Obviously the off shore customer service was not there at all and the customer service here was great.
