Have you thought about switching to a 4 speed, and getting rid of that maintenance problem child? Probably make your life less stressful. Yeah this little trans is terrible. All stock internal parts and it has needed 2 extension housing bushings after 3 drag weeks. Total junk!   What about that time it leaked like the Exxon Valdez, backing into a car show? That’s double embarrassment. That was a fun time, that whole leak chasing scenario was due to a leaky torque converter weld. I was mad enough over that whole deal I almost wanted to put a different transmission in there lol!

The only source of oiling is the top hole which is fed by a capillary effect, the passage on the side is to drain fluid that gets trapped in front of the seal.

Off topic slightly, can you put a roller bearing in place of the bushing? It's been discussed before, common consensus is the slip yoke hardness isn't compatible with a roller bearing.

So I got the tool, got the bushing and set out to do this task today. I am sure the tool would work great. However my issue was that the extension housing bushing went inside the transmission so there was no bushing at all locating things. So I ended up removing the tailshaft anyways and that wasn't a bad job at all.
I have no idea what would have caused the old bushing to walk forward into the trans. It didn't spin and it looked just fine.

Tool$91 for the pair on the Bag. Thanks for that link, the tool looks great and I am sure it would have worked perfect had the bushing actually been where it belongs.

The thought crossed my mind, but I didn't have any and situated the car in a way I could not close the garage up and leave. 2 car garage wrenching problems.
