Hi Harry

will try to keep my cab 11 on mostly even ground......

Did the trick with Mooovit rustbreak..... now have the cap freed up and by coincidence now the shifting lever actually moves....

The large adjustable plumbers pliers will work but need a third hand..... namely Rob Clarke..... to push down while I twist... looks like I can do it without breaking anything....

Another questions...... of the 3 going on four tranny teardown the best gears found so far have some surface black marks.... telling me some rust has eaten into the case hardening of the cut gears... how critical is it???? what condition of gears did you have to play with???? it seems all tranny have some water build up inside evenif only from years of Winter/Summer condensation.

I am replacing all bearing to be on the safe side.

Who else has tranny rebuild expereince....Phil W.???
