[TR] 3rd gear snapring

[TRDOCTOR at aol.com]

I purchased one of the last Churchill tools from TRF a few years ago along  
with the installation tools.  Mine does not have a threaded rod.  It  is 
knurled on the outside of the tool. Sure makes the job easier!!

I have  now used it to remove the snap rings from a couple of
transmissions. It  works really slick. Way better than trying to
manipulate 3 or 4 screw  drivers at the same time.

The snap ring tool that I've got has a  threaded rod in the end of it
that acts as a  puller.

Thanks,

Mike
