I've picked this project back up again, and decided to see how well it'd go if I tried taking it apart with it still attached to the car as I suggested. It CAN be done =o) Heh... I still haven't figured out the reverse issue yet, but it's definitely something internal - I've had someone in the car trying to shift into reverse while I watch for binding and such underneath, and I found nothing, so I'm tearing it apart now to see what's up.

Also, I thought I'd add that I've driven it about 4000 miles with no other issues whatsoever - 1-5 work great. Just no parallel parking or parking in spots where I'd have to back out =o)
