    I deserve every bit of shit I'm getting right now for it, no worries. I should've put my foot down when I booked/paid for the flight a couple of months ago; I thought maybe we would have one more shot in October.

    Drove the OIF CMC #39 onto the trailer last night. In first gear. Which was cool. We let it run on jack stands for a bit and no noises from the re-re-re-spect-built 6 speed. We'll know soon enough.

    We pressed the mainshaft nose bearing ( #22 Bearing, Mainshaft Small Tapered) on approximately 0.015"-0.020" further than it had been. Looking closely it appeared to be slightly off the shoulder and after a little squeeze, had displaced some trans fluid. We think, based on all the feedback from smart transmission people that we have the right idea. After that, re-shimming, new blockers, etc. the 3-4 slider assembly measures more centered.

    We can confirm that the countershaft shimming goes from unturnable to "just right" within 0.003".

    Dustin, bring that pig box of yours to Hallett and we'll drink you through a rebuild.

    I think we should have a 4th gear only gentleman's race in one of the TWS inverts.

    I'd be up for a rebuild party (but not at Hallett). We've got one box stuck in fourth and are supposedly buying a spare box that we would want to go through before putting into service. There is also the possibility that we will be returning your borrowed box stuck in fourth gear...
