Yeah,Hind sight is wonderfull.I have been using Vdub folks for parts because I
was in Dallas every day and it was convenient.I didn't know that Oakhill was
going to be doing the trans or I would have gone directly to them.Live and
learn.At least it will be done right and I shouldn't have any trans worries.

Wouldn't it have been easier to take it directly to Oak hill and cut out the
middle man? Clarke Jr. is getting a reputation for being the tranny man.

Axles, all Bus Axles get worn on the paddles. An old trick is to
flip them. (use the one on the left on the right and vice-versa)
Make sure you change out your fulcrum plates regardless.
You could probably just get a good rebuilt bug center section and
have the shop flip the R&P
but if they'll be under $400 it may not be a bad deal. At least if
they know what they're doing.
