ehh jafro isn't the only one with a jacked up trans.. my is all fubared as well.
I believe that the bearings on the end of my main shaft & counter shaft have both failed me. Thus the problems dis-engauging gears at high rev. & the whirling noise that i have while in gear on decel.
I'm gonna pull the backup trans out from under the work bench & change the input shaft bearing so that it's ready to go. I'll probably just swap them out & work on the current problem next week some time.
