I've got the fancy store bought lever on there now, but the big ol' wrench will probably be coming back by popular demand.
The last time I did the transmission was four years ago. I Pieced that gearbox together from three broken ones. I'm surprised that it lasted as long as it did. I had to buy one this time. I was lucky to find this one with a nice new shifter. My old worn out rattly Hurst Comp Plus Had definitely outlived its expectations. There's no telling the millions of gear changes it performed. The new unit works great.
This is the third tranny I've had to install in my truck thirteen years. The Saginaws aren't the strongest out there, but I've had pretty good luck with them. The first I paid $100 for at a J/Y. I put new synchros, and bearings in it before I ever used it.(additional $120) The second was the pieced together gearbox, and now this one.
