[TR] [Spits] What's the next gearbox move????

[Jim Muller]

Thanks to all the great help, I now have the gearbox apart!  Well, 
mostly apart.  The big gear at the rear won't come off the front of 
the mainshaft because it hits some splines which have a larger 
diameter.  Obviously it was meant to come off the rear, which means 
removing the speedo drive gear and the rear bearing.  I'll consider 
that move carefully, will probably have to get a gear puller to 
proceed further down that path.  However the rest of the system is 
apart.

Now comes the evaluation process, figure out why 2nd was so noisy, 
measure various tolerances, etc.  Nothing looks broken, which is what 
I was afraid of.

The real challenge will be putting it all back together!

Thanks again, everyone.
