I know how they shift and how much more power goes to the ground... My friend Alex has the '83 760 with the manual that we got from Texas. Now that I drove a D24T with a manual I want to do my swap that much more! I got the pilot bearing from IMC, and it is open as you said. Interesting that seizing bearings is a problem. The air cooled T-1 bug engines had a needle bearing gland nut that has a crappy felt seal at the end of it. The T-IV bus engines after 1972 had a plain needle bearing at the end of the crank with no seal built in. I have never had a bus crank with a bad bearing in it... I wonder if there is another reason they tend to go bad, like crappy bearing quality or something. Volvo/VW isn't normally known for bad quality on stuff like that. The trans I got came out of a early 80s (steel case) and the snout of the imput shaft where the bearing rides looks like it has almost no wear. Good news there at least!
