Thanks guys for the good advice, greatly appreciated.
Today I got the rear diff, the hydraulic pump & the center housing squeaky clean. Got'ta love that thick sludgy mess! Sure wish I was smart enough to go the pressure washer route but the end result was satisfying.
As well the hydraulic lift needed some attention. I replaced the cork friction disk on the quadrant control. This took time as the aluminum friction plate was stuck to the control lever shaft. Using penetrating oil, heat, & shims - a couple of sturdy wacks loosened the bond.
I then replaced the cam follower pin which was 2/3's worn & scraped the old gasket material off the case (this stuff was stuck on there really well).
I checked the bottom of the transmission thru the drain hole - there is lots of sludge in there. I will clean this out sometime this week.
I have never taken the gear shift cover off an N series before. What should I look out for? The parts manual shows a spring & detent ball at the rear of the top cover, probably need to be careful around this?
