hi, the overall length of the transmission is 23 inches from the front of the shaft to the end of the tail shaft. It has 4 bolts that hold the side cover on. I did decide to take the side cover off to have a look and the gear that slides has teeth broken on it, I guess thats my problem. I would post pictures, but Im not sure how to do that. thanks for your help. I was just trying to find out what transmission it was maybe to find a rebuilt kit or a replacement.

Also I forgot to add that the truck did go in first gear and move with no problems, only reverse was the problem


It may not go fast, but it does look good!
