That sounds like some very practical advice - comparing the condition of first gear to second and third. Never thought about that. In general it looks pretty good inside for what I can see. Some wear on the syncro teeth but not worn down by any means. I learned on my Muncie though that it sometimes takes a practiced eye to spot problems on transmission gears. I plan to go ahead and pull it apart and put some level of a rebuild kit in it. It's been apart before and I'm not sure they used gaskets to put it back together.

Thanks
