I'm not around here much anymore. At least the broken-down truck is a little closer to home this time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I took apart the failed transmission of the truck you very generously gave to me, and posted up some pictures here at one point. I'm sure the photos were deleted from Photobucket a long time ago.

If the rest of the truck is in good shape and your son wants to repair it, I'd recommend getting the old transmission rebuilt. (Unless driving the vehicle after the gearbox failed has caused too much damage.) The junkyard transmission I put in the gold Montero worked, but it used to pop out of gear on a pretty regular basis (2nd and/or 3rd gears, IIRC). Buying a 20+ year old used transmission is definitely a bit of a crapshoot.
