Brad,
- Do you have the rebuild kit for the transmission?
- Your input shaft bearing could be good-to-go but I have always replaced.
- 2-3 gear drum has a synchro, check condition, replace as necessary
- note spacers on either sides of shafts, take pictures and replace
- Remember reverse idler gear is LAST in, tempting to skip a step and put it in before the main shaft but you'll need the room
- Did you buy a 16 oz tub of the green transmission installation grease? Worth it's weight in gold, best $7 I ever spent.
Lastly (for now), take your time, if YOU feel a part is too worn, find one and replace. My 'old Muncie rebuild' lasted 65 K miles until a catastrophic failure that had nothing to do with my build.
Keep the challenges coming, you can do it and it's going to feel great.
