Thanks Redline. Just buttoned up my rebuild too and found it pretty straight forward. It even miked out to .012 between the thrust washer and 2nd gear after it was assembled. I'll be dropping it in soon for the road test, it bench tested nicely. A buddy of mine that is ready to go through his M22 cant believe the size of the internal components. I explained to him that the same trans could be found in the 1/2 tons all the way up to the 2 top cabovers. Would recommend any one doing one of these to have some lock ring pliers and a press.
