Howdy.
Just arrived, happy day, got a new 5th gear split-roller/needle bearing from Petroworks (Darcy is very nice there).
I've been forever behind due to bill problems, and not having a car hasn't helped. But now can begin the main shaft re-construction. This is where having all the parts on that stick sure helps. And wouldn't you know, Harbor Freight has all their presses on sale, and that handy trans jack, so if can get a project boat sold, this pup is done. I realize this saga has been extra pathetic. I'm not really a gear or engine man (internals). Timing belts, alternators, starters, fuel pumps, that I can do better.
In honor of this transmission, I am moved to quote Automotive Fakespeare:
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your cars;
I come to bearing Seizure, not to prise him."
