Yep it's likely junk(or to define, a bigger piece of junk than one that has still has 3rd)... When 3rd goes, you are talking broken cluster gear, no doubt the smaller pieces have been crunched up in the other gears and bearings... End result is about the same as if you'd loaded it up with sand...

Yeah for now, thats Why I wasnt power shifting...

Tomorrow I am changing the Driveshaft yoke and U joints as the tranny was viberating so bad it wore a pretty big grove out of the yoke and wrecked the joints.
