5th gear

no need to pull the tranny. dodge sells an updated 5th gear nut. also use b12 and clean it off real well and use locktite. they have an updated output shaft that uses a snap ring after the 5th gear then put the nut on. mine has it and i've towed in 5th gear many times and has never backed off.

there's lots of ways to fix the one you got as well. you can put it back on and then tack some welds behind the nut. also, a transmission guy told me not to spend any money, just tighten the nut back on the gear and then take a punch and give it a couple whacks around the nut where the slits are on the shaft to keep it from ever moving off. good luck man

i realize i dont have to take the transmission out, but i imagine the shaft and nut are jacked up now so i'll probably pull it out and replace stuff.
