Bug,Thanks alot for the parts breakdown.I believe you and d449k are exactly right.I could remove the spacer sleeve out the rear of the transmission but the gear and the spacer washer had a larger od and would not come out that way.Looking at the picture,I think the washer[#15] is on the wrong side of the gear as ya'll said.I will have to deal with that later.I sure appreciate all the help.
