I haven't had a chance to tear into the transmission yet to give it a good inspection because I'm in the middle of the engine right now. I'm trying to focus on one area of the truck at a time but occasionally I stumble onto some opportunities to pick up spare parts.
Are there any known "weak" spots in this transmission where certain parts are prone to a lot of wear? I'm thinking like the shift forks, rear bearing support, idler shafts, etc. or was it a pretty good unit and "usually" only needs a good cleaning and a new set of gaskets/seals? I know a lot of it depends on the maintenance it received (or more so, lack of maintenance and gear lube) so I'm just looking for some insight on some of the items that are almost always in bad shape.
Thanks,
Shawn
