Shifter removed, transmission sliding out, pic of SM 465 next to the Clark. I cant wait to drive this thing!
I was surprised, I thought the rear main was leaking oil but it turned out to be the bearing retainer cover was loose on the SM465 so that was the source of my leak, go figure.
The new shifter location is about 1" further rear than the original one, I'm thinking of having the hole moved south 1" by a good body guy I know...
