Default 1939 Ford Transmission DON'T......

DON'T LEAVE IT OUT IN THE RAIN!!! Wish I was there when this '39 transmission was removed to make sure it was put inside rather then left out in the elements for who knows how long. Found this last week locally inside a garage but when the shifter didn't move I suspected problems. Was going to pull the top anyway but was really bummed with what I found inside. Lots of corrosion and even the tower rails were frozen solid. Got the tower apart earlier this week and spent most of the day on disassembly and cleaning the rest. Was hoping to find the cluster gear intact at least because there was still gear oil inside and added pics of it to get opinions on if it could be used. Some of the other gears and the synchronizer assembly will be ok too.
