Back in business. Had a slight distraction that slowed progress.
Scoob is back up and running.. Had a slight interruption in the trans rebuild in the form of this:
My son Nolan.. Born Aug 5th.
Would have been up and running sooner, but the first time I slapped the trans in the input shaft seal started leaking badly.. Soaked the clutch..
Pulled the trans back out, split it open and replaced the seal.. Inspected the old/new seal closely.. No tears or nicks that I could spot. No sideplay in shaft.. Was a bit concerned, but the new seal didn't leak.. Got it all back together with a new clutch and flywheel combo..
Soooo good the be back behind the wheel of my scoob..

Wow.. How many times am I going to split this trans open in a month?
MFactory gearset en route.. Stock rebuild didn't break.. I just got pissed off and tired of worrying about it breaking..
