Wrenchbender, you hit the nail on the head.It is now whining in two and three, quiet in four and a little grind here and there. So I need bearings and synchros. I just hope the case isn't worn as well.
I had this apart a few years ago when I put the truck back on the road and tearing the trans down was actually fairly simple. I didn't have any new parts then, only a few things from another trans, so I didn't really rebuild or make any improvements. The hard part is pulling it out and putting it back in. That part I really am not looking forward to. There is a Novak kit that has all of these parts.
Scott, as far as a T-5 goes, is this a direct bolt up and is it the same length as the SM 420? I would like to avoid getting the jack shaft re done again.
Does the T-5 require a rear mount? This trans just makes it into place with the original cross member.
Thanks for the advice.
Mike
