Thanks Whipplem104

So far Iv'e gotten down to the major sub assemblies I've inspected both sprags they both look good and work fine on the bench. No surprise there, I still think the sprag is slipping, but no macroscopic signs of degradation.

So as far as overhaul kits are concerned I'm interested in recommendations. My ATSG manual references several upgraded seals. If I get the genuine MB seal kit will it have all the latest upgraded seals or will I have to order them additionally. There is also a front input shaft that ASTG insists I upgrade $400. Considering I do have this transmission apart, is this an important upgrade. Also what do you generally do about frictions I'm almost tempted to leave them as MB sells these 1 at a time or is there a recommended aftermarket kit.

I've attached my current parts list and some pictures.

Your thoughts and comments are welcome. This will be my first MB trans overhaul.
