Steve,
I was assuming that someday I would run out of "turns" and I'd be stuck with a trans that wouldn't shift into high gear. Am I wrong and I could conceiveably use this fix "forever"?

As long as the engine is out- turning the crank and installing new bearings, I thought it a good time to attempt the transmission too, i.e. the 3-4 upshift kit.

Your advice would be warmly welcomed as is Joe's.
