The 901 side shifter that I got with my '71 has a broken mounting ear
 so today I took the end plate off. There was more water than oil in the case.  Which means that there was rust.  The 1st-reverse shifter fork is broken as well.  I guess I'm shopping for a tranny now... I think that throwing money at this box would be foolish, no? |

I think I would be more concerned about the bearings than the gears. Old
Gearheads have been taking old "A" trannys out of the barn, soaking them in diesel fuel, changeing the bearings and running them for years. May not last as long as one that didnt double as a birdbath but if all the parts move, run it. |
