Ok folks, here's a nice one. Pulled my tranny today... found there
wasn't a thrust bearing/washer pack on the end of my main shaft or even
a bronze washer! Interesting part is the tranny shifts perfectly fine
with no grinding or whining throughout all gears (snip)

Heh, when Charley Cole opered up my 5-speed to fix the leak at the rear
he found an amazing jumble of used, new and improvised parts. He said
the shimming was a mile off.

I had to tell him it shifted just fine. If it wasn't leaking I wouldn't
have considered pulling it. I mean, I don't just pull the motor for no
reason at all. For example *never* during football season (unless it is
a bye week).
