Thank you for your response. I figured that this was my result as well, but I want a second opinion before removing the transmission. Wishful thinking more/less. But looks like i will be shopping for transmissions. I am considering keeping this transmission and rebuilding it own my own, after changing it. Just interested in learning more about these transmissions and no better way to learn than hands on experience. Looks like i have a future project that i am going to experience. B)
