It's been a while but Leeloo is getting closer to getting back on her feet. Basically what started as a tranny rebuild for a broken R&P is now getting closer to the end after getting in there to do a "few things". DWD set in and since I thought "while I was in there"....you get the idea... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

First off was getting the 901 fixed. After taking it apart it was found that the rear mainshaft bearing obliterated itself and ended up tilting the mainshaft under load. It proceeded to wipe out the R&P and 3 gears. Not a pretty sight. After a rebuild with 3 new gears, new synchros, seals and the installation of a Wavetrac TBD, she is ready rock! All buttoned up and under her own power now.
