You know you're always welcome Ron, but if a messed up tranny is what it
takes to get you here... :)

The tranny is out of the car - it was actually on it's way into the car to
replace the high mileage (something greater than 600,000km) 7A that's in
there now.  I will have a go at attempting to line things up before I
start tearing it apart.  Maybe I'll get lucky.
