Stomach, forgot to thank you! An off the shelf rebuild might be the thing to do.
Jack, thank-you! You're right, the guys I'm talking about will know their stuff. I suspected that 2 more gears might "complicate(s) things even more" -- but I had to ask. Driving this truck on long trips, I do notice that it often seems like it 'wants' a fifth gear.
I don't tow my lobster-boat often, but when I do it's usually long distances. With that load, on uphills, this transmission sometimes has trouble deciding on 3rd or 4th gear. On these occasions, I wonder whether a six speed would be an improvement -- but then, as you say, that comes with further complications.
