    Found major issue…trans

    I got a magnet today. I picked up every piece of metal shaving/material in the bottom of the case and found ZERO more bearings. Which means I only pulled out 11, no wonder there was an issue! Yikes! Like I stated previously, someone else had been in the trans before me because I seen gasket...

    I’ll keep looking, but I’m about 100% sure they aren’t there. Hopefully today I can tackle the shifter assembly.

    Found major issue…trans

    Well I only found 11, unless some came out when I drained the case. I have the case pretty darn clean and I cannot see or feel anymore. I don’t have a magnet currently so unless they are hiding, or they went out the drain plug when I drained it. I’ll check that bucket later, but at this point I...

    Found major issue…trans

    The rest of the transmission is disassembled. The whole main shaft and gear set are out. The shift tower/cover is off the transmission, and it seems stuck or out of wack. Unless the ball and detents are that strong.

    Yeah even out of the truck it is stuck. Does it appear out of the shift plate maybe? This is the first time Ie looked at it. Horrible picture I know. Thanks!

    Found major issue…trans

    This might be a stupid question, but would I be able to shift the shifter when the top cover is removed from the transmission? Does that make sense? It feels like mine is stuck, but maybe I just can’t get enough torque on it off the trans. I was messing with it earlier and noticed i couldn’t get...

    DIY or cheap intercom

    I just wasn’t sure if the intercom’s HAD to be plugged into an aircraft to operate, it sounds like they don’t. So basically an intercom like pictures above, and 2-4 headsets?

    DIY or cheap intercom

    Something like this. Do I just give it power and plug in headsets? Or does it have to be plugged into a aircrafts radio?

    DIY or cheap intercom

    Has anyone set up their own headset and intercom system? I’m looking for a budget build, I don’t need new, I just need functional. 2 person set up with headsets, possibly up to 3 in case there’s a young’n in the middle. Thoughts? Ideas? Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I have a buddy who makes somewhat frequent trips to NY to a family cabin on Lake Millsite. I’ve been there myself also with my family. Maybe I could arrange something. We interchange from 90e to 81n at Syracuse, then head 81n for 100miles to Theresa, NY. I live about 3hrs north east of...

    I still have to fish some out from below, or there may not be any down there, I’m not entirely sure yet. But as of now I have 8 in hand that hadn’t fallen.
