I am listening loud and clear. I do have the "one-piece" countershaft. I don't understand it, I have a supposed late model gear box, but have the supposed earlier one-piece countershaft. I do have the extra row of needlebearings in the 5th gear which indicates late model.

I will measure the gears tonight and let you know the exact measurments. I will also measure the misalignment so that I have an exact number.

I'll get back to you guys. It would be great if we got to the bottom of this.

Greg.
