Good to know Brandon. Good luck with the install. I do not enjoy swapping Eagle trannies. Keep us posted on the progress guys.

Pigonawing, there may be some more detailed info in the eaglepedia. You can do some adjusting just by pulling the cover off, but it sounds to me like you may have some tranny isuues there other than the linkage. Not sure it's "toast" - I'd still try the flush/filter thing first before taking on the tranny swapping job.

I think the plan is to service the transmission I have, swap it in, then I think he was going to keep his old one and rebuild it for a spare.  I like that idea because knowing my luck as soon as he takes the transmission from my shed my Eagle will get jealous and drop it's transmission.

Pigonawing and his wife just picked up the transmission I had in my shed.  Hope it solves the problem for him.

It's alive!!!

I received a text from Pigonawing at 9:08 pm central time...
"Putting fluid in her now got my fingers crossed"

At 9:39 he texted again, " Well it runs. It's loud; it moves, but I have a drip.  A trans line...  not sure."

Next up...  Exhaust.
