I've read some recent posts where members have lost the transmission in their X and resort to installing used transmissions that they had stored as backup only to find that the used trans is not functioning properly due to it being improperly stored for years. I have a used backup 5 speed that came off of an '81 that appeared to be in good working order. According to the PO the shifting was good without crunching and the reverse gear was fine. I don't plan on getting into it to verify its condition just yet but I want to make sure I store it properly so the insides don't corrode over time.
What is the best advice to follow to make sure it remains in usable condition while I store it in my garage?
