Well, I killed it

Put a new clutch in my granny 3 speed and was gonna put my new 3 speed shifter in the floor....So I go to hook up the linkage and all that other junk and theres this wire just hanging there i look at it and sure enough its the speedo cable. So i think... hmm, ill just hook it back up, BUT NO!!!!!!!! it broke off in the $%@#$%@ tailshaft! So i rip that freaking tranny out again and end up taking the sideplate off of the top, and oh man... ALL the bearings fell out of it, im frankly tired of messing with it Anybody got a turbo 350/400 or a 700R4 they would like to get rid of?

you have to pull the top off of the tranny to get that little gear? That stinks, on my scout's 727 all I had to do was take out the piece that the speedo attaches to on the side (has a hex head) and pull the gear out.


What is a granny 3spd?

Hey pal,

I got several turbo 350's and can help you with all your swapping questions. I have done it several times and have left overs. Shoot me a e-mail and I will e-mail you my phone # and we can get together on these parts. Thanks

BBB
