Got the T-5 last week. # 145
Had to fly to Hanover PA and land on a grass field to pick it up. Airport manager was nice enough to run over to the junk yard and pick it up for me ahead of time. Loaded it in the rear seat and put a seat belt on it. Flew back with an 18 mph tail wind. Just couldn't find one local. Made more than 50 phone calls. The closest I found all had the electronic speedo and I want to stay cable.
I'm moving around the shifter mechanism with my fingers and it feels fine in and out of gears and the shafts spin nicely but I'd like to have a look inside this thing. Looks to me like I will have to slide the tail housing back before I can remove the top cover to see inside. Also looks like this trans was Hydrolic.
(this is all new to me) The tag number indicates 1985 but the junkyard markings on top say 88 s-10 so either they marked it wrong in the yard or it was a transplant.
