Hello All,
The best I can fiqure (without opening the box)is the countershaft bearing froze up, causing the countershaft to spin, which enlarged the shaft's hole in the casing and also damaged the bell housing where the countershaft sets in a slight indenture. That whole area where the countershaft sits against the bell housing was boogied up by the spining countershaft, but it can be repaired at a machine shop. I would rather have another bell housing.
I took the destroyed M41 along with a marginal M41 to a friend's shop who has a lot of experience from the past. Grover agreed to take my good overdrive and connect it to a rebuilt M41 gearbox. Grover said he hasn't done one in ten years but could still do it in his sleep. I am lucky as hell to have found someone who would agree to work on an antique transmission, and actually know what they are doing.
