np 203 gasket

[chromewontgetyouhome]

I just pulled my 203 because the adapter plate gasket was shot. I ordered a full set of gaskets from transmission exchange for 9 bucks. My question is how hard is it to replace all the gaskets? Do i need any special tools? I have a part time kit in it, and when I pulled the plates off the gears and chain looked to be in pretty good shape. Also, what gear oil is recomended? Thanks for the help. /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif

For a 203 you want to run 10W-30 in it. Gear oil is two thick. The 203 relies on the oil slosh from the chain to lube the rear bearing housing.

The guy who owned the truck before me had used gear oil. Should I fill it up with the 10-w30 a few times and drain it? Also the spedo cable hook up is on the passenger side, not the drivers. The zip tie that was securing the cable snaped and a section the cable housing melted on the exhaust. Can I rotate the rear part of the case to get it over to the other side? thanks /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif
