After much trial and error I've finally gotten around to a bench test of my 4-speed tranny for my '72 'O2 (I pulled it out a while back).
The car stopped going several months ago and I've ruled out the diff.
When put in all gears, the main shaft will still turn in either direction when you rotate it by hand. It turns when it shouldn't.
I'd like to pull the rear shaft out without opening up the entire tranny. The large bolt pattern (where the guibo bolts on) has a 30mm (I think) nut holding it in. But, it looks like it has to be removed with a deep-socket.
Any helpful comments out there on whether it is worth pulling this to look for damage?
Is my tranny hosed?
