Folks -
Thanks to all for your advice on replacing the clutch. Using a torch to cut off the main shaft of the transmission worked wonders! It bolted right up after that! The clutch pedal feels odd, but I think it'll run-in after I get her started.
Seriously, pulled the trans half back out, checked everything, and this time it went together just fine. I screwed up my back, however, so I'm cane'd and hobbled for a few days, but the heavy work is done.
Next question - I am replacing all of the fluids, and am getting conflicting answers as to what lubricant I should use in the transmission/axle assembly. Some say 80 wt gear oil, other say UDT of different weights, so I am not sure. Also, it says the transmission assembly takes something like 34 quarts. It that really so?
If any of you could confirm the type, weight and quantity of transmission lubricant, I'd sure appreciate it.
Again, thanks to all for your advice on getting the clutch issue resolved.
