trans lay shaft.

A word from the un wise so no one esle makes my mistake. when re attaching the overdrive to the trans case the gasket that seals this surface should be cut out to allow the oil to enter the rear of the lay shaft. Last year I didnt do this and the trans got louder during last summers drives.

I recently disassembled the trans and found wear at the roller bearings on the layshaft. now the oil should flow properly.

May be I am the only one but I feel better letting all know

Hi Kevin, the gasket should have had the proper cut outs for the application. However, IMOP low quality after market Lay shafts seem to fret very easily from the equally poor quality and silly design of the lay shaft bearings.---Fwiw---Keoke
