I bought a 1-1/4 inch freeze plug that I think will work for this, but wonder what else I will find. The one in the kit is about 3/4 or one inch. For instance, the access hole plug at the top of the transmission is about 1-1/4 inches. The sm319 rebuild kit I bought seems to have everything I need, but not everything seems to match up to what I've pulled so far. I sourced a NOS part that set me back $150. The countershaft assembly middle gear set was chewed up, nicely matching the damage to the 1-R slider gear. The 1-R slider gear has a good number of teeth rounded and some that are nearly halfway gone. Here's what else I found that needs addressed: I have already looked at the tailshaft bushing and found it scratched up, so got the bushing for that. I still have the adapter plate in place while I check with you fine folks to get your recommendations, tips, tricks, and "I wish I woulda's." I think I can do this, though I have minimal mechanical skills. I have great pics from the manual that walks you through the repair of the overdrive section, but the service manual is a bit sparse on tips and tricks for the leading half. Getting ready to tear into the front half of the transmission that was on my 57 3100 when I bought it.
