Creeper Gear Advice to Buy
 

I think I am ready to pop the $$$ for a creeper gear to go in my 122. I see a few on Ebay. Any advice??? Looks like I can get one for around $200. Anything I should be concerned about? Condition / Wear signs ?
I think I am getting addicted to looking at everyone's posts.

Being that you can't actually see and hold the unit online, there isn't really much to say. Look at the pics, and try to get a good one. A 122 is a NF with a tall tunnel, so you need a creeper with the right handle. Counting the creeper for the "O", and the later creeper for the aluminum trans, I think there are 3 different housing styles, and 3 handle styles for the creeper for the steel housing gear drives. Make sure you are looking for the one that fits. Post a link to one you are looking at if you need advice.

What Jonathan said and it will need a extended handle and breather

Here is one I am looking at

Thanks for the input!

You want to inspect the condition of the shifter yoke. It's an internal part, so you can't inspect it without having the creeper in hand. You can ask the seller if the yoke is "stepped", you'll have to trust the seller to be honest about it's condition. If the yoke is worn, the creeper has to be disassembled to replace it. Here's a pic of a worn yoke, and of the worn yoke next to a new one. :beer2:

I just got a creeper myself for 180.00 shipped -had alot of questions but the seller was very knowledgeable and was very reassuring when it came to the integrity of the unit. No complaints yet other than I'm waiting for some snow to use it!

Great info!!
Thank you
