What does it need to work?

YES!!! Furthermore, it's missing the input shaft. Check out the link from Brewers and look at the price. Like I said earlier, give him $25 and use it for parts, if anything in it is usable.

If it matters, I paid $200 for a complete, used trans.

Nuff said for me on this topic.

if you didnt want to reply you didnt have to....im asking for help here since i know nothing really (i didnt even notice the input shaft is missing, and i dont think you did either till later since you didnt mention it before)...if its too much of a bother than DONT bother...easy as that

I appreciate help and any answers to the many questions i have, but as soon as people make me feel like i am bothering i feel that those people just shouldnt even type responses

you can all be rest assured i wont be asking any more questions about THIS tranny.

thanks!
