A new shift coupler might not be a bad idea. clutch, pressure plate, thow out
bearing. starter bushing, pilot bearing, parking brake cables???

I was thinking of picking up a tranny myself this week and show up Saturday
with the same questions but the guy sold the tranny on Friday....
too late.....
I think you might need a gasket kit and fluid plus some cider .....

Murray home on the last leg of the TOAL, about two hours east of Ft. Smith,
about 175 miles from home, the growling transaxle that took two bottles of gear
oil a thousand miles earlier, in Florida, finally gave up fourth gear. No loud
event, just no connection between the engine and the rear wheels. When I push
on the accelerator I just got a zizzing sound, "zizzzzz." When I downshifted
into third everything worked fine. I didn't even stop, I just slowed to 50 MPH
(3500-4000 RPM) and made the rest of my way home.
I drove on the shoulder for a way. You never really notice all the sharp
metal stuff and dead animals and broke down cars that are on the shoulder until
you drive on it for a while.
Eventually I realized that I was now doing "normal split bus speed" and got
back on the regular slow lane. People passing me still took pictures and waved
the peace sign at me. Nobody thinks anything is wrong with a Split doing 50.
So, here's the question: what all gaskets and parts do I need to put in a new
tranny? Remember that I have a Swing axle, not IRS and no reduction boxes. I
will be at Chuck's on Friday and can get to parts houses, so what all do I
need. Assume I have nothing, 'cuz I probably don't.
Oh, and I know what food to bring.
