The only issue I currently have: the trans is stuck in 1/2 gear and I cant get it undone. But I haven't had a chance to rock it since its still on jackstands. I tried using a cresent wrench on the lever boss and didn't have any luck. Never had any issues with the trans before and I didn't rebuild it (saving for a Passon trans).
