A833 Neutral Issue

You know where it is now it's time to tear it down and see what's wrong physically. On a side note the last time I was into one of these, I needed an install arbor for the countershaft. I successfully used a piece of (don't remember) 1/2 or 3/4 heater hose, just got it GOOD and clean and it worked well It's not a bad idea, anyhow (if you figured not to) to tear it down and inspect the countergear bore condition, and inspect those needle bearings. Take a REALLY good "feel" and look at the two big ball bearings for roughness and wear. Inspect them for race and ball pitting.
