SEAFIRE

Just finished dropping the tranny out. At first we tried removing the top cover and seeing if anything was wrong, we could push the 2nd & 3rd gears in place, and couldn't see anything broke or worn.

We swapped out the top cover with the cover from our "parts" tanny and it still didn't work in 2nd or 3rd, so we backed one of my mechanics service truck up to the truck, put the little crane boom through the passenger doorway, and unbolted and lowered the tranny to the ground.

The tranny & PTO are marked: TMC Wolverhampton England, Tanny is model 3053, PTO is model 4989. One of the rubber boots on the PTO "engage" shaft is split so we'll have to get a new one.

Odd thing, there was a thin gasket between the tranny and the engine, when we did the tranny swap in our other truck there was no gasket? do we need one?

We'll try to tear the tranny down this weekend, this is uncharted territory for us as we've never taken one apart.
