Making some progress today. Found a slipped thrust washer had caused my binding issue. Got that corrected and it has some endplay now
Went thru the valve body and installed the transfix kit. This took some times to get everything cleaned up without mixing anything up. Called it aa day after getting the valve body installed. Still need to adjust the bands then put the OD tail piece on it. I have been putting off assembling the tail piece to the case Till I can set it on the floor. the ODunit adds a ton of weight to the unit.
