Thanks for all the input it means a lot!
Michale, I won't be giving up on this baby, so Unless I will be banging my head too hard against the wall, hold off on the trailer.
1st and Reverse gear move on shaft. 2nd and 3rd do not.

I will take the tranny out and continue to disassemble and likely have it rebuild.

Now...the big question is....How much what would anybody's best guess be this whole procedure will set me back!??!

As you can tell by all my "basic" posts, I am not very experienced, but I would attempt to do everything I can prioe to getting the engine to a machine shop/

Anybody wanna thro some rough numbers out there?

Thanks again,

Andy
