So when you blew the tranny in the mud are you sure it blew. Were there any sounds. A big thud followed by a gulping sound. If the tranny was hot then it may not have blown. Just swole up a bit

tranny was a little warm but seemed to function fine after getting out of the hole.  drove a bit more then stopped to air up our tires to head home climbed a small hill while j to finish up backed down the hill and i did hear a large pop then thought maybe i blew a ujoint or something got and looked but it all looked normal so figured my driveline got bound up and then unloaded.  After getting it home the next morning like i said i didn't have reverse or 3rd (from a 727 manaul it says r and 3rd are on the same set so that would explain why i didnt have reverse or 3rd but not why i still had reverse before i parked it) drained the tranny it was full of pepto looking fluid put in a new filter old one was full of gunk and my pan and drain pan had what i could best describe as fine gunpowder in them and alot of it flushed the tranny refilled still no 3rd or r.  I did notice that when i pulled the wroung line (in not the out) that it didn't flow any fluid out of it so i am thinking my cooler is plugged up to other then that thats about it.  Sucks when i got the jeep the trans was supposed to be rebuilt and you can tell its been out of the jeep and even marked by a shop.  Tcase was full of water to because that vent line fell down under the jeep but still functioned just fine.  Sorry for the long post.

oh and now i need a tap i busted a fitting off in the replacement trans trying to get it out and when i got the fitting i screwed the threads all up.  It really was a good trip though up to that point j-rwaters is a good guy and i didn't even mind pullinghim out of the hole he got stuck in :P mini spool worked great also.

trans slipped on the jack and sent it flying at me tore a big gash in my arm.  After takeing a few days for the muscles in my arm to stop hurting from being torn i tried to get it in today.  After it fell on me about 10 times and i popped a stitch i got the trans hung back on the engine

Hate to hear about all of your challenges getting 'er back together. I'm sure that will make it feel all the better when you are back out driving it.

Well it lives.  Finished it all up today complete with drilling and tapping a new vent line in the top of the trans so it won't fill with water again so i am good to go on another trip
