Both great vendors, adding real value! Kirkham must be one of the only ones using this tranny mount. Changing out the rear housing was pretty easy. Driving out the three roll pins on the shifter shafts was the scariest part. Not being that familiar with the internal workings of a TKO, I had to trust that when I heard them drop into the tranny they weren't going into the gear box. They weren't. As soon as I cracked the case, they dropped to the floor. I then had a hard time getting the tailhousing to slide back any farther than the end of the alignment pin. I tried everything and it wouldn't budge. I looked at it for a minute and then put my finger tips on the tailhousing flange and pressed against the main housing with my thumbs and it slid right off with little effort! The only other minor issue was the roller bearing race for the intermediate shaft (I think that's what its called) was pretty tight in the mounting hub. I had to very carefully remove it and the shim behind it and move them to the new tailshaft. Hopefully, I'll have no further problems.

This is the 6th Quicktime I've used in the last few years and the first three got degreed, but were perfect. I then read that they didn't require it and didn't do it for this one. Hopefully, that won't turn out to be a mistake!
