Re: sm465 main shaft and coupler
I'll be looking into this soon.... I guess you didn't have a hardtime figuring out which end was toast!
How difficult was changing the main shaft?

Re: sm465 main shaft and coupler
it wasnt too hard to change.. but you do need a press to get the bushings off... as long as you keep the gears in the order they came off its not too bad...the parts for the main shaft and coupler were 150 bucks... as you could see my splines were going to break soon... the only way to tell which side is worn is to pull the tranny and look... and this is the second tranny and coupler i had do this so it must be common... i replaced the tranny before cause it had the same damage... but i didnt look at the coupler before i installed... could have saved some time..

Re: sm465 main shaft and coupler
Wow, those are really worn! Glad you got it fixed before it left you stranded.
