a little update.....
Finished pulling the trans today, then I got motivated and tore into the trans. And of course as luck would have it, I dont have a 12point socket at home to remove the center support bolt. So close, yet so far away. I can spin the output shaft and hear the noise, so I must be getting closer.
You buy the gas, I'll be there!
It is the fix, my trans has held up very well for what I put it through.
The trans I ordered through Speed Engineering almost three years ago. I know very very little about the trans, other than the fact it is a very old style housing (has the oil cooler line at the same location as the 60e)

***UPDATE***
Well, I got the output carrier out. I found I lost the needle bearing in one of the planet gears...................
What caused the bearing to fail??????????
Will the 02 5 pinion planetary fit the older trans?
