Well the trans is back together. I installed the 5th gear assembly and synchros plus the shift fork. I didn't seal any of the covers yet as it was too cold in the garage. If you look closely at this last picture you can see frost has formed! When it gets warmer I'll repaint the top cover and RTV the rest of the covers. For now that's an overhauled NV4500, all new bearings and synchros a new input shaft and a new 5th gear clutch. I guess it's time to buy the really expensive oil. I found this trans for $700 and have another $480 in parts. If I needed to do this again I think I would just order one from a rebuilder for a little more than I have into mine and be done with it.
