Default Re: The Defiant One.....at the transmission shop

Well I highly doubt it. Every gear and shaft was severely rusted and pitted. Nothing would move. We’d sprayed it thoroughly with PB Blaster but nothing budged after several days. We still thought we’d at least perhaps save the case. This was where we hit the roadblock of that stuck countershaft. I had to weigh the extra hours of work trying to clear the gearbox versus simply pulling a good set of gears and a decent case from our stock. Of the hundreds of rusted gearboxes we’ve encountered, this was the first one to successfully defy us.
