I'm pulling the engine and tranny when I get the Nissan motor Off the stand and put up on the self then I can go ahead and rebuild the tranny and do it all in one shot I might sell my rally truck to get cash for the project and while it's apart finish odds and end things

Since there wasn't a question here, just a statement, I'll add to the original post.
Yes, your engine is shot and needs to be rebuilt.
