Lloyd,
Bought a basket case while back and doing
resto.prior to install,what should I look for
are there any checks I should perform for
proper functioning of the ZF short of tearing
down? to much play in bearings etc.,etc.

Well first I would rotate the axles and input shaft,remove the shift housing and go through the gears,remove bottom pan cover to
inspect the ring and pinion for wear or pitting,look for wire-locked ring gear bolts,I would replace the front input shaft seal so you some insurance to stop from pulling the box back out of the car,
and don't for get to fill with oil!!!That is about all you can do without a service.
