I was inspecting the new to me blue lable od unit and while the gears look good pulling the screen I was greeted with what ever is pictured below. I got a good deal on the od tranny and I figured it might need a rebuilding but now that I know that it does what are my options?

Who are the go to guys for rebuilds? Is there anyone who sells or exchanges od units?

Stewart...how did you get that out? From the trans side cover itself or from the OD sump?

OD's are easier to rebuild than transmissions...& you know how easy they are.
 
Before I forget it looks like the car is off a later unit as there is an additional micro switch located on the shifter rod. If this is not wired up I assume there will be no issues. I'm also thinking od will only work in 4th? I have a blue lable in my 75 without the micro switch and it works in 3rd and 4th.
 
Ah, thought that was where it came from....looks like the circlip (#50 in Moss catalog) or, hopefully the relief valve plug washer (#74).....either are easy to correct - especially #74.
 
Well I dug in a bit and now have 3/4ths of the ring I think more came out when I pulled the rear casing but I have yet to find them. The planetary gears look quite good and the rest is clean so maybe it's #13 on the diagram? The ring looks to between a silver dollar and 50c piece size wise.
 
Yep, bet that's it...you can get it by itself or get the whole assembly (#9)...looking at an OD I've got standing in my garage, looks like if you remove the rear half of the cover, you're right at it.....sliding member #4 is the front half of the "clutch" assembly, #16, the annulus is the other half....when you pull #4 out of # 16, you'll see the entire area where we're talking about,

I've had one apart to reline the sliding members - not too bad....I just wouldn't order any parts until I had everything on a bench.

You don't need anybody to do it for you either....

Well, just saw you have #'s 4 & 16 apart....its on he mainshaft behind #12

Here I believe:
