Bertrand,
I would have liked to have done the TT bearings, but I am at the tail end of a catastrophic matter which has caused much fiscal pain. These bearings will have to wait. I was fortunate enough to be able to get the transmission. It is one of Greg's 'new' ones that he found in a warehouse in Germany. This new unit is from the torque tube to the rear axles so I imagine the TC seal will be good to go. As I get the experience of dropping the rear end now, I was thinking of Constantine's Super Bearings when I'm completely on my feet, and putting in Bilsteins all around. So far no signs of bearing dysfunction, but I am cognizant of them.
Thanks again,
Craig

This one will be yours:
This thing hasn't seen the light of day for over 25 years!
Free, at last, free at last.
Factory markings.
All of this means that there is a brand new 40% limited slip, hiding behind that cover.

Wow !
Thanks Greg. I'm lining up my workspace, and some trans. jack equipment from a friend in the trade (Big Trucks - Ryder Inc. service shop).
Can't thank you enough for having such a thing... though not surprised.

I don't want anyone to get one of these transmissions, from me, and have any problems. I'd rather spend a few hours and buy some parts, to make sure everything is as perfect as it can be. I'm trying to update them to the latest and greatest pieces, plus replace a few gaskets and seals, so I know they will not leak.
Now the "other" end:
Bolts removed from the convertor bell housing and the flex plate.
Remove housing and convertor.
Remove oil pump/B3 piston assembly.
That's what is inside, once the pump/B3 piston assembly is removed.

Malcolm, thanks for your support throughout.
Still not at the end yet, but I think no more mysteries.

UPDATE
Well, thought this would be a good time for the UPDATE to this thread.
After much to do, I installed one of Greg's 'new' 0.4 LSD transmissions.
Car is now running the way it was meant to be.
Again, Thanks to all.
