yea, that's what I did, still haven't found that ball joint tool. I just hope I can get it all back together as easy. So many bolts have been lost over time that some of the ones holding it together or 17mm like normal, but the new ones or 18. same thing with a lot of the 14mm that were replaced with 15mm. Remembering exactly where and what everything is makes it go pretty fast.

That would be great, but I'm pretty sure mine won't be running. I need to find someone that has at least pretty good grasp on these transmissions. When I pull it apart I want to know what I've really got and if anything should be replaced. I already know it's not a Kormex rebuild. I called them and it would have KTP stamped on it. It doesn't. I have ordered their complete seal kit and will replace all of them. Once I get the tranny all put back together I was thinking about maybe a pool, burgers, beer and put in a transmission kind of meet. Not necesarily in that order. I took it all apart in less than 2 hours so it would be cool to see how fast 3 or 4 people could put it all back together and hear it run. Well, cool for me.
