I didn't mention it but the driveshaft flanges have a good deal of slop compared to no slop on the replacement 020 I have ready. I figured replacing the trans completely would be the best bet for now.
Here are some tools I made a few years ago to open up the 020 trans. Just need to find the box I stuffed them away in so I can replace the seals prior to installation of the new in the car. https://picasaweb.google.com/102391619278461274652/020TransTools?authkey=Gv1sRgCOaD2dX2teHYIw I'm still debating opening up the replacement 020 to get the peloquin installed while I have the opportunity to do so.
