Test results.
I tore out the cluster early today and replace some bulbs and paint the needles. After that I bolted up the rear of the transmission, put 5 L of fluid down the dipstick and gave it a shot.
It seems to be shifting. I held the engine at 3000 rpm, and started out with the shifter in 2. I moved it up to 3 and rpms dropped a bit. I moved it to D and it dropped again. So it looks like it is shifting. Its very difficult to feel/hear anything w/o the drive shaft installed and the exhaust blaring out in my garage.
The trans might still be slightly low on fluid but that'll be sorted out when I get it on all 4 wheels again.
I've gotta bolt up the drive shaft and exhaust at some point. Not sure if I feel like doing that today or not.
