well transmission was 90% complete, and when i got home today there was a package waiting for me from Ted... and it in was a few tools ? man did that u-joint tool make like easier !!  Thanks Ted, I will get it back to you soon... the other tool was a clutch alignment tool, used to align the clutch in the pressure plate assembly. simple molded piece of plastic but should work like a glove... test fitted it in the clutch disc to validate fitment !!

Ted's Custom built u-joint tool !!

Clutch alignment tool in clutch disc for test fitment

splines fit like a glove, should work perfectly !!

now to assemble the u-joint.. did a test fitment to learn how the tool fits and work, not sure if this is correct, but fit perfect and work best for me on assembling the u-joint

so i took it apart, put on some grease on the u-joint components for now, and then put ti all together...

used new nuts and lock washer to ensure no issues. went back together easier then it came apart.

now the base of the transmission is all together, checked to ensure everything moved freely, the input shaft is a little stiff compared to the output shaft, but it does have that lip seal on it that provides a little resistance. but everything moves easily and freely and can scroll through the gears no problem.

plan to clean it up this weekend, mask it off then put on afresh coat of gloss black...

after it dries for a few days will be ready to put bell housing and fork back on it and ready for reinstall
