Listers
Need some recommendations from the list. Dismantled a centershift trans and  
overdrive unit today. Someone rebuilt the trans not long ago as the gear set 
is  new but used silicone excessively to apparently stop gasket leaks.  Bad  
idea as the silicone bits plugged the OD pump screen. 
 
The OD will need new friction surfaces on the OD clutch assembly. Shrapnel  
has eaten things up. The rest of the OD will need a general overhaul.   Looking 
for recommendations for a repair shop on mainland US or Canada that can  
handle the job. OD only, not the gearbox. This is the first OD for me in over  
forty years of playing with these things that will require the replacement of  
the friction linings. Appreciate your suggestions and don't worry about later  
repercussions if things don't work out.
Aloha
