Ok, so after having my A440 pulled & shipped to Seattle for a rebuild they shipped it back in pieces when they found out about the infamous shaft issue which left me financially bonded to a used unit from CruiserParts.net which arrived as promised mostly complete but it also had the clunk. Of course I purchased the warranty but paying the shop again to R&R a replacement from Cruiser parts in hopes it doesn't have the same problem just doesn't make sense especially since they are on the other side of the world from me.
Everyone on this side seems to be deathly afraid of these trannies so just how difficult and expensive can it be to install this McNamara gear? I have ordered the seal & gasket kit but I am not a gear guy and am disabled so doing it myself is out of the question. My last resort performance shop guy agreed at first to do the install and threw me a reasonable quote but relinquished the offer once he saw a 9hr shop rate for transfer case removal.
I had a h55 conversion lined up prior to my last operation but unfortunately since having it my clutch leg won't agree with a manual transmission.
I thought I was golden with a one year warranty on the CruiserParts 440 but now I feel trapped either way.
Pretty sure I'm not the only one in this predicament so please come forth all ye gear heads & help an Idaho Redneck out with all the advice you give out so regularly whether asked for or not! lol..... Darren
