Thanks for taking the time to document and share this Kevin. I am going to use it for my reference soon.
One question, do you know if the gear ratio for a 76 gear box is the same as the 87 you rebuilt? I have a 72 and a 76. I plan on replacing the 72 with the 76 because of the better gear ratio. I wondered if the later ones in the 80s are better yet?
