You can find bad press on most anything....some more than others, but it's all there. My SM465 refuses to stay in 2nd gear....floats out when you get off the power. For $40 for the tranny, I don't complain.
The Plate adapters for the 4wd-version 10-spline output SM465 only work with the 73-older t-cases since those have the 10-spline input gear. You CAN swap gears from the 73-older cases into the 74+ 4-speed cases, you just need to add a spacer to the idler gear cluster.
I've had no strength issues with my 72 t-case.
