Re: '63 K NV4500 removal / reverse build thread

At this point, I was under the gun to get finished so I took less pics. The syncro kit I ordered came with no 5th gear syncro and an extra 3-4 syncro. I had to run across the bridge to a shop in Hayward to get one. There I met Craig from Transmission Parts and Cores. This isn't a plug but he was the most helpful person and he could see that I was in a jam. I bought the 5th syncro from him and when I came back 2 hrs later to get reverse shift fork pads and a rear seal, he just gave them to me along with a bunch of good advice and tips. Thanks Craig! The rear output housing sealed and went on without issue as did the shift cover after a thorough cleaning of all the black scale. I helicoiled the rear trans mounts bc I had noticed on the first install that they were stripping out. Yeah I know the silicone looks like crap. I was in a real big hurry. I had to tow a trailer and backhoe to the ballfield the next morning to prep for my daughters softball season!
