Many thanks to everyone that answered my question about the 185/70R13 tires being too large, Santa didn't bring my fake Minilite Rims, but there is always my birthday.
Bugeye is totally stripped to the bare metal and in primer now, all the metal work is finished, new sills and floor boards.
I see back in the archives several suggestions for folks to switch from the smooth case trans. to the ribbed transmission. I got to the transmission last night.
Transmission felt good, while in the car, both up and down through the gears.
I have maybe a 1/16 +/- movement in the shafts, first motion shaft and third motion shaft and the rear seal leaked(well lets say the felt looks like it is gone)
What would the advantage be to change over to a ribbed case Transmission?
Is the shaft play such that it would be necessary to rebush at this time, or worry about it when it starts to rattle?
Thanks for the help.
