Took the top cover off of the old 3 speed and the main shaft and gears are rusted, countershaft is submerged in water :/ on to the 5 speed!! Got the cases apart and the main shaft disassembled. My 300 dollar quote is upped to 600. Drag racing took its toll. 1,2,3 speed gears need replacing on the mainshaft as well as the input shaft. Still better than gambling on a used 400 dollar transmission.
