Small update waiting for parts mainly These turned up Will get better pics once they're fitted, got a cusco rebuild kit for the diff on the way. Braided oil line and some eye brows and looking at live sports splitter
Sounds ok. Main shaft bearings aren't really a problem on c52 transmissions, syncros and 5th gear inner hub on mine, we would charge around 100 to strip and inspect so others mite be the same might be worth having it opened and checked
Check it engages all gears rotate the main shaft by hand in all gears and make sure it doesnt lock up. Look for previous oil leaks. Check where the linkages go on I had to weld mine up where it was starting to split
