Transmission: Part 1

Oddly, removing the selector fork proved to be the most difficult part of the disassembly, but it did come out.

Rear extension removed, selector rods and forks coming out.

After the laygear shaft is removed it lays low enough in the housing to then remove the reverse gear.

Reverse gear and shaft out.

The input shaft or first motion shaft just pulls out once the front cover is removed and laygear is sitting at the bottom of the transmission housing.

Next the output or third motion shaft can be removed from the back of the housing.

And voila, an exploded transmission. In part two it will get put back together with new needle bearings for the third motion shaft and laygear shaft as well as four new synchronizers, they all seemed to be pretty weak but more to the point, they are 46 years old, why not replace them while it is taken apart?
