As much as I don't want to cough up the money, I know sooner or later I have to do it. I am going to inspect the gears again tomorrow and make a determination.

Another funny thing is that when dissasembling some things for the overhaul I discovered that whoever restored the car used two bottom Universal Caps that were all pitted and unsightly. Luckily I have a nicer not pitted set lying around.
