Throw away the steel ones and replace with the bronze ones. The steel ones will sieze. There is very minimal clearance between the shafts and the bushings. Oil seepage will be minimal at it's worst. Our team has 4 machines, all running 700's, and never had a problem. George has the part numbers listed for the bronze bushings in the 700 race prep thread. the other one, not this one.

Is the brass fitting used for a vent 1/4 on the thread side and also on the barbed side?

i think i used a 1/4'' pipe thread, but i used a plastic fitting and had to ground part of the threads off, the hole in the tranny is bigger than 1/4 but smaller than 3/8 and is not actually a pipe thread, but a plastic elbow will screw in there and not cause harm, if you dont grind part of the thread off they will hit the shifter fan before the fitting gets tight....

Alright Thanks guys. That's what I was looking for. Is there a certain way to grind the threads without screwing them up?

if you use a plastic fitting, just grind them off with a hand grinder or a bench grinder,

you can also modify the neutral safety switch, tap the center of it to 1/8 NPT and just use a fitting out of an old one piece carb off a briggs single. thats what I did and have had no problems.

My tranny didn't have the thrust bearing washer when I tore it down.  Did some of them not come with it?Is this something that I should get?

Some have it, some don't.  I run some with, and some without.  Just depends on what is in the case.  I don't put the bearing in if the tranny didn't have it stock.  I haven't noticed much difference.

Thanks Paul. I got it all together without it, and it seems to work alright.

I would recommend not using the thrust bearings at all, they will come apart and its not pretty.

Did I miss something or do you remove the reverse sprockets off the shafts? What do you put in it's place?

Can you leave them in?

I just opened my case for the first time today.. I was scared until I read this again today.. now I'm ready to get to it.

My input pinion had 8D stamped on it.. does this mean anything?
