after a few head scratches and purging my mind of the 3 speed how to videos, I found the rather large clip that was holding the remainder of the gear assembly in the tail housing
... and she slid right out in the last pic from left to right (or rear most to front most) we got 1st gear then the reverse slider and then the 2nd gear, my buddy Mopar Seth believes the noise problem lies in there, since it is quiet with 1st gear engaged, but as soon as we disengage it we get the rattle chatter |

nest to come off was the brownish orange plastic speedo gear, the metal clip holds it in place

YALR - Yet Another Lock Ring and the rear main shaft bearing comes off, this one took a little flat screw driver (ok crow bar) gentle persuasion to slip off, this reveals the wavy washer which I was told was an afterthought repair/fix of one of the noises these transmissions like to make

so then things will get loose and we will be able to slide off the rear bearing, the wavy washer, another washer, 1st gear, 1st-2nd + reverse slider, and one syncro

Have a friend who just finished going through a cast iron 70s Mopar 4-speed, which is based on a 3-speed. That means 3rd gear is 1:1 and 4th is an overdrive gear where third would normally be on the countershaft and mainshaft. And like you, he had never done one before, but just dug in and got 'er done! |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Well done. If one thing racing taught me over the years is that just because you haven’t done it or seen it doesn’t mean you can’t do it.

Lucky that little ball bearing didn't get caught somewhere more important. What let it escape? |

well before I realized the detent ball was missing I already removed the counter shaft so might as well walk you through it
I gotta be honest I was pretty intimidated about pressing this shaft out, but it turned out to be super easy and all I needed was a hammer the first two pics show a good view of the idler gear and how it slides side to side - this may be the smoking gun |
