Hi Tracy-
I didn't even realize that there was a rear buffer. Regarding ending up in the
bottom, one of the detent springs was broken when I disassembled (now I know
why), and part of the spring had worked its way down past the two plates at the
input bearing. I probably should replace, but don't know where to source the
plates.
BTW, Does anyone know where I can source the three plates at the input
bearing/bellhousing?
