Has been several weeks on this tranny and I need to finish this up. All is well and good with the 3 speed. Got it together CORRECTLY yesterday and it is in fine shape with almost everything new. BTW, the energizing springs were there, we just didn't know what we were looking at.
First I need to thank "rfs56trk" for all the phone calls on trying to get this tranny right. He was a great help to us, 'the unknowing'.
Second, a lot of parts are no longer made for these transmissions. But rfs56trk had me contact "Dave Waugh Transmission" , 562-325-7539, who has many of the parts you will need including the 2nd and 3rd clutch hub.
In conclusion, finding a really good used tranny for these trucks will be very hard to do as they are old and have been really worked hard. Parts are there to make them run well for another lifetime. Let be clear on this one point. Attention to detail is everything. They will not go back together incorrectly and work...I think you know why I know this. Thanks.
