Its been a good 4 years since I tore into a transmission. I do recall a lot of those things now that you bring them up. I'm going to definitely check over the clutch fork and cross shafts once I start to really open it up. I'm finding all kinds of things on this project that have been changed around. I actually got my hopes up as the transmission data plate was in rough shape and I thought I read RTX-15613 instead of RTX-15615
My only real qualm with the 15 speed is that I have 5 gears in the basement I'll probably never use. Well unless I'm camping in a swamp lol.
This is only the 2nd one I've had apart. They look much more complicated than they actually are. So far its looking pretty good inside.
In all actuality, it'd be good to go with new shift forks and input shaft. I'm going to re-bearing the countershafts and replace the range synchronizer since I'm already there. I'm going to re-seal the range and deep reduction pistons too since they haven't been used in over 10 years.
