Glad to hear you got that fixed...now, get rid of those poly bushings. Let me know if you need any advice when you get around to resealing the gearbox. If you have someone handy who can laser or waterjet a part, I can send you a drawing for the pin wrench. I've recently found that the socket...

At this point, you're stuck with whatever fluid is in the case, and with whatever is in the fluid. Without a valve body, there is no way to operate the transmission, and therefore, you cannot flush the case using the pump. The problem you now have is that you're going to get a (presumably)...

They are also available new, but you have to get them form Japan. I'd suggest you contact Dave Stedman if you want to go that route. The part number is 35410-60520.
