The hardest part for me was getting the gears on our Cims. The two from the kit of parts this year have a better keyway design than those from years previous. So when i put the key onto the shaft it was a bit hard but nothing to bad.

We did something similar. The chassis was done first, but the tranny guys had to go find some grease. (For a quick fix for the lack thereof, we found some old FP gearboxes--those have more grease than you can shake a stick at--I'd say at least enough for five or six Toughboxes and the FP will still run well.)
