Well, since the proud parents who have given birth to 5-speed rebuilds are
showing pics, here's are some close-ups of mine, of the "double-nut on the

California.

I have many more photos of the rebuild, I have never worked on a
transmission before, EVER! and I did it all by myself with the help of Scott
Scheeler's books.
