The final job for the day was to disassemble & clean the trans shift tower. This was frozen when I got it, and I discovered today that it was dues to an accumulation of dirt and other muck in the selector travel tubes. That's all gone now.

When I got the selectors out, I found one of the three plunger ball springs was corroded and broke in two upon removal. Checking through Macs catalog for replacements.
