fellas,
My T86 rebuild has ground to a halt. The countershaft in the main case of the T86 has excellent gears but there is a worn spot pretty bad on the shaft that the gearset rides on. Does anyone have a spare? It is 3/4" and a little over 8 inches long.
Email me and I can send you a photo. danaxjessup@yahoo.com

Hi Dan. Try Northwest Transmission Parts in Ohio for the countershaft that you need for the Warner T-86 Their web address is nwtparts.com/
IF the countershaft is chewed up, take a good look at the inside surface of the cluster gear where the needle bearings run. The cluster gear bore may be messed up, too. Be sure to get new needle bearings with the countershaft even if the ones you have look 'okay'.
I can't take credit for the lead. Frank Rice (ReBop) recommended them to me.
I sent this same message to you via email, but I don't trust our system at this writing.
Let us know how you make out.
Regards,

thank you Charlie, I did talk to Van Pelts today. they are based in Batavia, OH, a little closer to me. The gentleman was courteous to return my phone call on his dime, and he answered my questions and was willing to look at the photos I had e-mailed him to get a good idea of what I needed. I think I am going to go with them.
