I finally got the notification that my PO Box had the transmission! Woohoo. I went to pick it up, and it turned out that the clutch, flywheel and driveshaft were missing. Arg.
Either way I took it home and needed to see if it fit, and it fits like a glove. Only the bolts for the master cylinder for the clutch needed to be changed as this one needed a shorter bolt. Also, it weighs probably 50-70 lbs less than the existing transmission and transfer case, so that is a BIG plus.
Now I needed a beer to celebrate! We are one step closer… but it’s -5 C here right now, and the beer fridge is keeping the beer much too cold. Damn first world problems.
