Your trany looks as good or better than mine

I did tune up on my shifter to reduce the rotation in the shift lever. It,s all from wear. The pin, the socket have wear. All rebuild able with care. Just had my shifter out today trying to improve it too.
Remind me and we can review the things I did to improve my 60 degree shift lever rotation!

Chris,

Yes I had hoped to touch base on your shifter improvements while you were in town. I’ll keep mine out on the table for inspection/discussion.

I did find pics of the puller you used. From what I found it’s a blue point 4567 hub puller tool. I believe the “new version” my snap on guy let me borrow is a blue point CJ129A, and I would have to open the stud holes on it. Good to know that’s likely going to be a common theme. Looks like the price is similar for the old version and the new version. So I may just keep what my snap on guy gave me and modify as needed.

Thanks,

Nate
