Thank you for the heads up on the output shaft. Of course I have not seen the one on my '79 yet, The shaft on this '78 does show some wear, but I would probably just use it as is because of the way I use this rig. I will post a pic of the output shaft tomorrow. As mentioned, it is just a 3 month a year drive around the island at 35 mph, take the grandkids out for ice cream, go visit a neighbor kind of rig. Now, on the other hand, the shaft (and gear) on my '79 could be considerably worse. So, I pull the back cover off the transmission, replace the shaft and gear (and the bearing?) from under the rig ... Sheesh, this could snowball.
