Did my first ('85 200X) last summer. Just take your time, label and sandwich bag everything. You'll be fine.

You'll be fine. Watch how everything is supposed to WORK as you're going in. Manual ail take care of the rest ! Back cutting the kickers?

digital camera everything is what helps me.

I remember there is one way they like to sit to come apart.
as in - one side or the other belongs up.
and some sort of 'jig' that supposedly makes things easier.

Let me know exactly what you need. I may have what you are looking for.

Ok ill double check tonight. i know i need the smaller diameter kicker idler gear, the one that meshes with the clutch gear, and one of the countershaft sliding gears either 4th or 5th

Get a WELL LIT/CLEAN workbench and the manual nearby; And a pad of paper for notes. Let the oil out completely.

Be aware of any LH threaded nuts or bolts. Cut a cardboard template of the cases (rough) and put all the bolts and brackets/straps for cables in their respective hole.

EVERY case or cover I have split have a couple of raised area to use a small

and a brass punch or plastic

. If they do not budge, you missed a bolt.

Take all your screwdriver for pry bars far far away during you splitting process. Tap, tap and tap.

Keep the transmission together with nylon straps; beware of thrust washers and their locations. Make certain any improvements for the 83/84/ and 85 200X internal kicker mechanism are upgraded.

People who take stuff apart and toss it into a 5 gallon bucket or a box; Those people are NOT mechanics.

I just bought one last summer. Split the cases on a US90 in a jiffy. Next will be a couple of 200X cases. If you are going to be doing a lot of engine tear downs, I highly recommend this tool.
