[QUOTE="69ST, post: 174357, member: 5"] It's a little tricky counting primary gear teeth, with the clutch in place. You'll find it easier if you can mark a gear tooth first, maybe a dab of a yellow paint marking pen. Tranny gears cannot be seen without splitting the cases. At that point, time to inspect the shift forks...which are likely nearing the ends of their service lives and are very easy to replace while the trans is on the bench. Assuming you have the impact driver needed to open the oil spinner (by removing the throwout bearing flange), you may as well pull the flywheel & stator. With the stator assembly removed, you can see the timing chain, idler & tensioner up close & personal. BTW, you will need a flywheel removal tool. FYI, with the stator & RH clutch cover off the engine, any sludge can be douched-out using Brakleen. Just take your time, work systematically/methodically, get the right tools (impact driver, flywheel removal tool, clutch nut spanner), ask questions before taking a chance of breaking something and you'll be fine. I usually say "[I]the impossible just takes a little longer[/I]" but, truth be told, it only feels like that the first time through. All you're really doing is making your first pass through the learning curve, same as the rest of us did at some time in the past. And look how we turned out...:confused::whistle: [/QUOTE]
