Hi Gang,
Last report was low on transmission fluid and suspected 5th gear damaged (ruined?).  Now a strange twist to the tale.  Assuming that the 5th gear was damaged beyond repair, I loaded my extra transmission in the bed just behind the cab and took it to the local mechanic to change the output flange seals.  When he test drove the car, all of the symptoms of violent steering wheel movement and drumming sound at speeds above 45mph were gone .  I drove it home with the extra transmission still in the bed with no symptoms.  Still have the transmission in the bed, have been driving the PU for three days with no symptoms and am afraid to remove it in case the symptoms might return.  What is going on here?  Is it something to do with the rear axle or what?
E.J.
