Thanks Brian, and Happy New Year to you!! So, what would you surmise the reason would be for all 3 of these springs and balls ending up in the bottom of the tranny??? Are the retaining clip springs prone to breaking? If so, I wonder why they wouldn't be supplied with the service kit - they don't look expensive??? I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I removed the top cover and viewed the gears; they look to be in excellent shape, and there is very minimal play in either the front spline or the rear yoke. I don't think I would have even bothered with this exercise had the transmission not displayed some unusual shift grinds. Not all the time, but enough that it gave me pause and now that I find all the parts in the sump, I am presuming that is the culprit. Just don't know how they'd 'get out'! Chris
