Nice to hear from you.......

Yes most of the spare trannies either have a broken rear cover or broken side ears in front.......

Just ordered new bearings for the tranny.... got the rear seal but will need a "Speedy sleeve" if I expect to keep the oil where it belongs.....

Did you noticed the different casting material used in the late to early years???? Any comments.... certainly the late cast steel were much more resistant....

Need to take a few top covers appart to develop some expertise.
I want to polish the shifting rods as most have rust build up...hoping that it will help me with the NO synchro shifts..... yeah I know double clutch.... but on a cab 11 you literaly need to open the door to double clutch... so I have big feet.....

In addition to the sleeve on the shaft I intend to use good lock nuts... not washers and possibly Lock tight...... almost like an accountant that wears a belt and suspenders.

Next I will be inspecting and possibly replace all the U-joints.....

Any leads on the rear engine mount bolt spring assembly.... possible substitute?????? valve springs are too large!!!
