[TR] gearbox stuff

[Gary Nafziger]

List,
I've removed the tailshaft from the gearbox  (tr-3) and noticed that the tab 
that inserts into the slot holding the countershaft in place was cracked and 
fell apart when I unscrewed it.  I had another gearbox which I took apart and 
found that it also had a tab which was cracked/broken in the same place.  Could 
not find that tab for sale in the Moss site so will probably make up my own.  


I also noticed that I can turn the mainshaft when the gearbox is in reverse and 
neutral but not in any forward gear.  Is this normal?  Or is something jammed?  


Curious if anyone else has experienced these same issues.  Inexperienced 
mechanic here......lol
