I finally got to pick up the coach on Tuesday afternoon. The A/C compressor works and has been converted to R-134. The seals in the final drive have been replaced and the weep hole is now open and not leaking. The only issue remaining from the original tranny swap is that it is a little late shifting into third gear. I am thinking that this might be how it was intended because of the weight of the coach not to mention the additional weight of the tow car. If it gets to be a problem I will have to adjust it on the road – it is not too tough but does require crawling under the coach – it won’t be the first time.

Now, on to the planned changes that I wanted to be working on for the past two weeks or more: the Onan needs some checking and maybe adjusting; I have to finish the chassis lube now that I know where the fittings are on the torque boxes – I had to go back and look at photos from the installation; I want to devise a cover for the furnace hot air outlet under the sink; I need to install a temperature gauge for the transmission (new tranny has a probe installed; I want to install a plastic bottle on the tranny vent hose so I can tell if it vents; and I really want to replace the center console that I made a couple of years ago.
