The tranny stuff has arrived!


The manual transmission stuff has arrived!


...but, my goodness, was the packing poor or what! The tranny had more or less been dropped into a cardboard box in which it rolled around and bent all sorts of brackets. The fact that it didn't fall off the pallet was pure luck!
Knowing very well that much of this will need attention to bring it up to par, here is my basic plan of action:
  • Clean, degrease and inspect everything
  • Take inventory
  • Remind the seller of the stuff he missed
  • Purchase missing stuff from DMCH or other sources for the stuff he simply didn't have
  • Shotblast, paint or plate
  • Re-torque/stake the large nuts on the transmission's input shafts
