June 23rd Update:
Just to keep you all up to speed…
All fluids have now been changed. Fluid flywheel was down about three liters!!! Topped that up of course.
I cleaned up the adjusters on 1st and 2nd. They did not seem to stick and the rust that was on them mostly wiped off with a rag. Very odd.
I reassembled everything (counted the turns on the self adjuster nuts when I removed them to re-install the same number of turns). Popped the top back on the transmission and re-filled with oil.
Started right up with no problem and after checking the fluids again (engine oil and gearbox) I tried 1st and 2nd and absolutely nothing. Third is very strong, enough to drive her around in and out of the shop. 4th and 5th seem strong as well.
Tomorrow I will fabricate the wilson pre-select gauge and double check the gearbox settings. I know its going to have to come apart, but it would be nice to take her for a proper drive before I tear it apart.
