M35A2 transmission problem

[cvh20]

Do any tranny experts see anything wrong in this picture?

 

[cvh20]

Odd thing is the truck was just purchased from GL and you can tell "Joe" replaced the transmission because of all the brand new bolts, non-matching paint, clean spots, etc.

There is no Rust on the gears like all the other deuce trans I have seen.

Is there something wrong with it,or did you take the cover off to take a picture.

Ohh! You beat me to it. I would have added that it is going to be hard to keep FOD out of there and the trans wouldn't last long that way.

BTW. I am originally from GA and have never had so much as a cavity.

I know, 5th gear isn't the same color as the others. Looks like it's been heated. But my eyes aren't the best either.

DieselBob is on to something. I took my first test drive in this truck (after proper PMCS and several other repairs) and could not get it to shift into 4th or 5th gear. It does not grind, but when you move the shifter to the far right it barely goes up or down at all and hits a definate solid stop of some kind. Curiosity got to me, so I had to take it apart and see what was going on. The picture shows 5th gear with a burned maple syrup finish, while the rest of the gears look very good.
