[Orange Crate]

Some progress. My replacement reverse gear needle bearings showed up. The place I bought my parts from didn't charge me for them as they shipped the wrong kit the first time (for a 97 and up I have a 92). I installed the reverse idle gear and then shimmed the counter shaft which allowed me to finally put the assembled main shaft into the case and shim the end play for that completed unit. I ended up with .002" for the counter shaft and .004" for the main. I still need to install 5th gear and the new nut and torque that to about 270 ft lbs. Pics are from input side and output side. Alright it just has to warm up some as it was 20f in the garage....
