Hi, just thought I would share this, I just installed a new crate engine in my truck, then went down and registered it,,,now for it's maiden voyage with the new engine, runs great!!!! but the 4 spd was popping out of third gear, I hadnt driven the truck since I put this sm465/205 in it, except down the road at my house but never getting on it......looked online and found Anaheim Gear has replacement third gears upgraded from the old,I guess this is a common problem with sm465's never had the problem with my other trucks ...got the gear and slider, ordered a bearing /synchro kit and gasket set and there is a sleeve that replaces some lock rings on the intermediate shaft....anyway, I got it all back together and in the truck and SUCCESS!!!!!!! shifts perfect and stays in all gears like it should....I have a press and made a couple specialty tools from pieces of pipe and made my own socket to tighten the rear main shaft nut and used a bearing remover with a gear puller to remove the bearings ,it was a big job but worth it....there is a great youtube video of a guy tearing apart his sm465 from a 4 wheel drive like mine, was helpful
