Early transmission (1928 and poss. early one) are reported to have bronze bushings on part T (reverse Idler gear)

My March '29 truck doesn't have these - but there is no guarantee this is the original tranny either.

Nice to see in the parts blow-out that THREE needle bearings are provided for the cluster gear. Ford only provided a short and a long AND a spacer between them. Three is better.
