Vendor , w/Business number
This transmission was recently shipped to me and I finally had a free moment to open it up. The pics speak for themselves.
These are parts here from a properly oiled 5 speed. Notice how everything is "wet". It was even shipped empty across the country to me just like the 6 speed was.
Now, here's the 6 speed I just opened up. Notice how "dry" everything is.
Notice lack of oil pooled anywhere
Plastic parts of reverse synchronizer melted from heat
Final drive #1 bearing race
Final drive #1 bearing. The roller cage was actually welded to the race in the case and took me about 40 mins of french, prying, slide hammer, and wiggling to get it out.
