Now I know why 904 was having issues

Look what showed up today! Sure looks nice compared to the pooched one. The rest of the rebuild parts will be here Monday and I can start putting it back together. Yay! I ended up going with a kit from Bulkpart.com (Makco) as they were the only ones that had the discontinued kit for a ‘71 tranny.

Speaking of ’71 trannies, I’m gathering that the tailshaft seal with boot (see pic) is hard to find. I’m not sure if it comes with the rebuild kit. Can the tailshaft bushing be removed by driving it inwards and are they supposed to be staked? Mine looks like it has been.

Can anyone tell me what the numbers on the bellhousing mean? Just curious.
