Everything I ever knew, never knew, should have known, and didn't want to know, about the CJ2A
Contrary to Willys (and Ricks) published procedures, I think it works a lot better to have the entire mainshaft pre-assembled before installing it in the case. This includes:
rear bearing, bearing spacer, bearing adapter (w/seal if needed), 2nd. gear & syncro assembly (w/out front blocking ring).
A "special tool" comes in real handy too.
Stands in place of a transfer case.
Keeps the transmission from falling apart while you finish assembly.
If you're working with an early transmission (prior to VIN 24196) you'll need this oil seal for the mainshaft.
