Appreciate any guidance, or feedback: 70's B-80?

Now drain the transmission and see if its still full of gear oil, oil and water, or pure rusty water.

if it had a lot of gear oil oil or at least oily water soup you might align the forks and put the shifter back in to verify how the transmission works.

Then decide if you do a diesel flush or a full rebuild.

If it's all water and rust, rebuild it.

PS put a new rubber boot on the shifter whenever you permanently reinstall it. That's where they get water in these transmissions


Won't have much time to work on it till the weekend, but I did follow the guide, and get the shifter back in place with the screw.  However it doesn't move.  Gonna watch some of the stuff and plan to drain and clean it. These guides make it seem very doable.
