The main transmission, which is still not mounted because the main gears do not move very freely when I tighten the case's screws, it needs a rebuild

I used an old MIP I had laying around to link the front GB to the transmission

Like he says.

But who is this mysterious "Kyle" fellow?

The title of the thread holds your answer.
