Many thanks to all leads and advice re trany bearings and overhaul.
I had hoped to purchase bearings on mass with current part numbers but that may not be possible. The caged bearing between top shafts is now discontinued though I have a great local parts store who are trying to source it. I have now had 4 transmissions apart to try and get good, still in the oil parts with limited success. Thirty years ago good used transmissions and engines were plentiful - not so much anymore. So Bob I eagerly await the input shaft- sorry to hear yer busted up!
Last question does anyone have an opinion oin whether the inside of the case should be recovered in the primer coloured oil resistant paint ( is it lead-oxide type paint?) or is that not necessary??
Thanks...B.P.
