So far I've been using the force - I have plans to go and read the FSM in a bit!

on my .411 there is an impeller there for fluid movement, but on my .412 some bonehead towed it with rear wheels on the ground and absolutely smoked that part of the transmission.
Apart from some small bearing differences, the transmissions seem identical, but I can't tell what used to be there on my .412. Looking forward with anticipation!

I've updated the pictures now - if you want to see more you know where to find me.

Seeing an eye witness account of one of the masters in action..........price-less. 
The Haynes manual for the 190-E 84 thru 88 Item # 1643, has an excellent break down of the 5-spd manual trans.

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone anymore - I was so relieved when MAVA turned up to repair his 722.5 - I was getting fed up of being the only one (that I knew of at the time) who takes transmissions to bits.
So JB3 - start the hints and tips!
I've only had a quick look at everything but it does indeed look like I've been lucky with this purchase. The bearing surfaces are a little discoloured but that's due to crappy oil and sitting around doing nothing. There's no evidence of over heating that I can see. The cog surfaces look good too.
I plan to
1) RTFM!
2) Have a good old clean up and inspection of the parts
3) Buy / cut out some gaskets - new O ring seals
4) Try not to take it to bits any further than I have so far and see if it will go back together within the tolerances specified in the FSM
I'd like to keep this project as a refresh rather than a full on rebuild if I can.
