Hey Kevin, I may be tapping our knowledge on these if I can. I found another 3 speed down here in Chula Vista for $50 that's suppose to be good. My thoughts are (if it is good) to put that one in my truck and rebuild mine. I gotta go look at it today. My plans for checking it are to pull the covers and gander in there and see if something doesn't look right and maybe run a magnet in the bottom through the drain plug and make sure there's no bearing or chunks that come out.

Since mine's still in my truck and I can't count them, does anyone know what the spline counts on the shafts are suppose to be were there variations and it'll be a "crap shoot"?
