I scored an M40 on eBay for $75 - worth it just for spare parts! When it arrived, the input & output shafts were locked together. I opened it up and in the process found 3/8 inch play at the input shaft. When I pulled the shaft forward, I could engage the gears. In Ford Toploaders that usually means bad synchro assemblies = easy fix.
I took it all apart and cataloged the parts to make sure everything was there. It's missing the back cover for the selector rods and the speedo friction ring.
Here's a pic of the cluster all laid out. I don't see any missing parts, does anyone with more experience see something I'm overlooking that might be missing?

Unrelated question, how long before I can just add pics to my posts? I've got a long-running project I want to share.
