Damage! Damage! Damage!

Thanks for the kind words folks.

I didn't get much of a chance to do anything today. I just took some pictures of the damage.

I've got a feeling this transmission will be a rubber necker's paradise.

First off here's the worn to the metal B1 brake band



I reckon they should have kept on driving it to see if it would eventually polish to a mirror finish.

Here's probably why the output shaft felt a bit rough



Really nasty pitted surface on the bit where the park pawl fits (I'll have to RTFM and find out what it is actually called!)



Rusty governor



It also has some spectacularly sharp edges on the drive cog. As does the cog that goes on the output shaft.



Look closely in the picture above - the middle part of the teeth are sharpened (by wear) - they are thinner than the outer edges.



I think I might have to ask the moderators to rename this thread to "what can possibly go wrong with a 722.3!"

Look out for long thin springs

I've found lots of this type of debris in the back part of the transmission.

At the moment my guess is that these long thin springs were at one time in the governor.
