I picked up an 83 300SD from a forum member. Well kept but he's not going to deal with it after the tranny literally went out with a bang. I have the tranny out to check if I can repair it. The output flange spins seemingly independently of anything else and there's a bit of a wobble to it. The shaft that extends through the flange it tight. I'm tempted to spin it with padded grips but I don't know if that's wise. I removed bits of plastic with a metal spring clip that must have fit over the castleated(sp?) nut. I'm thankful for suggestions on how to proceed with diagnosis.
