Legaltags.com sets up a Montana Limited Liability Company (LLC) for you, and then you get Montana tags and title for your vehicle. At least that's what it looks like from their website.

There's some new company advertising titles - maybe cartitles.com? Or legaltags.com? Looks like Legal Tags does this under Montana law; maybe similar to the Vermont loophole? Had anyone had any success with these car title companies?

Thanks for the details! Did you use the plastic thrust washers that came in the Wild Horses kit or did you re-use your original ones?

Rebuilding original trans - RAT 3 speed.

Thanks!

Ok, I'm going to cut it to where it's the same length as the counter gear. Thanks

The counter gear dummy shaft should be the same length as the counter gear, correct? The Ford/Rotunda dummy shaft is about 1/2" shorter than the counter gear, but I"m guessing that's just so it can be used in shorter counter gears in other transmissions.

3/4" PVC was too thick at 1" but 1/2" galvanized pipe is .853" OD - damn near perfect. Got a 2' piece from Lowes. Thanks again for the suggestion.

If you could get a phone number that would be much appreciated. Thanks! Scott

Had to watch my video to refresh my memory, but it's at 6:02 -

Cluster gear is together. That was fairly simple and didn't require a press. Input and counter gear are loaded with needle bearings - 25 on each side for the cluster gear and 15 for the input. Seal is installed in bearing retainer. O-rings installed on shift arms.

Excellent idea. Looks like 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC is about .840" OD. 3/4" copper tubing may work, but I may have to remove some material (supposed to be .875" OD).

I got it apart, but it's a slightly different process than the passenger car transmissions, so it took a bit of figuring out. The Shop Manual isn't a model of clarity, and there are no YouTube videos of a RAT rebuild that I could find. And now in pieces. I disassembled the gear cluster...

I just finished rebuilding two Borg Warner T-10 transmissions for my budget road race '72 AMC Javelin, and the reverse idler thrust washers look very similar to the ones BW uses for the counter gear. But my counter gear thrust washers look fine, so I'll just re-use them.

I think the reverse idler washers are C3AZ-7029-A. Ordered 4 from eBay. Said to be NOS.

Rebuilding the RAT 3 speed in my '69 Bronco and the rebuild kit from USA Standard Gear (purchased at Wild Horses) has plastic thrust washers. Sorry, but that just seems cheap to me. The thrust washers for the counter gear look fine, but I think I will get some new copper ones for the reverse...

There's some good info here. I tore my RAT down yesterday and had to figure out a few things because of the differences in the various 3 speeds. The shop manual is not a model of clarity, either. Question for @abrogate932 - how and when did you install the counter gear shaft? Also, what's up...

I had a few rebuilt several years ago and I'm pretty sure Then and Now was the company that did it. Reasonable price; seems to be good work but I haven't used them yet.

Yes, the Hi Po manifolds are different. But a basic search indicated that non-Hi Po 302 manifolds from the late 60's were the same in passenger cars and trucks. But I'm no expert and I have not gone beyond just a quick search.

Sorry, I was referring to manifolds from the same timeframe - Mustang, F100, and Bronco in the late 1960's. Later model stuff is a different story.
