I have an F-series trans that will be used with my b8....was looking at it last night, and was wondering if I should be able to look through the axle holes without anything in the way. The splines that the axles slide into are still intact, but there is a rod that is between the right and left side splines. Is this normal? I did not try to insert either of the axles though... Just want to make sure my spider gears didn't fall....

^^that'd be the diff pin you were looking at.... It sounds like everything is normal with your trans

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be? -
Yep if that pin ISN'T there, thats when you have a problem. Sounds like you're good to go! And if you're worried about the gear you can cut a couple of 6" long pieces of I think 3/4" PVC and stick them in the axle holes, its a pretty snug fit. Thats what I've used in the past when transporting transmissions.No festiva for me ATM...Comment

Whatever you do , do not turn the transmission with nothing in there. The spider gears will fall out of place........big problem.Comment

Not the spider gears...the cross pin holds them in place. The side gears can fall out of place.....1986 Comp Prep SVO Mustang(1 of 83) Four cylinder turbo! (Think first Fox body "R" model!)
