these old trannys are suprisingly robust.
my old t98 had something similar and i flushed it out a drove it
ten years and many hog hunts later its still going fine
snow/rain ran down through the window gaps
down the dash
and funneled into the hole the shift stick lever goes into
the mechanic showed me well over a gallon of water and the rest was p-nut butter milkshake
update
transfer case was full of ice
there is slight rust on some of the gears but as soon as the new carb comes i will install it and try to drive it home
wont roll with clutch in
i disconnected the drive shaft to get it off the trailer.
it was a toasty +2f when i dropped it off at the shop.
i miss my heated 3 car garage.....
i have already done a complete restore of a willys jeep and a from the ground up build of a 27 chevy hotrod
but tht doesnt mean i dont get to pick my battles
and i aint workin on this tranny outside when it is 7f and windy at noon ;)
it seems to roll ok
i dont want to get it off the trailer in case (very likely) i get POed and simply drop it off at a tranny shop.
it is 9f and windy and i dont have a garage
pretty unhappy right now
there is no way to fill the bone dry np435
and i cant take the top off because its stuck in first gear
there is a big metal plate in the way of the fill plug that is part of the 318 conversion.
i dont have a torch to cut a hole in the plate to get to the fill hole.
and i...
it feels like the clutch works
i took out the fill plug and the oil on the plug itself looked milky
that tells me water
tomorrow i will take the top off the case for a look-see.
i havent gotten a positive id on this so i dont know what i have to buy a FSM for it
the casting number on the side...
the m43 i just bought is stuck in 1st gear
i cannot move the lever period
which means i cant unload it from the trailer
is there a trick i dont know?
it has a casting number that says c97247
any help would be a godsend!
ps
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
