So I have my 4 speed all ready to reassemble. Are there any tricks or modifications that are recomended for these old transmissions. I'd prefer that it didn't leak gear lube in the future. There are a few things that I've been thinking as I get ready to go back together with it. Would CAT green be the way to go to seal the counter shafts where they enter and exit the case? Also would sealed bearings be a better choice for the input and output bearings? Maybe copper washers and RTV where the bolts come into the tranny case? Just food for thought. I'd appreciate any and all input.

Thanks,

Chris
