It's not very hard with the right tools and the factory manual or a haynes manual to follow. Do you have a clean workbench/area to open the transaxle up? You can probably borrow most of the specialized tools that you may need. |

I've heard Dr. Evil does that sort of thing when he's not removing tonsils or rebuilding knees (or whatever the hell it is he does when he should really be working on transmissions)...

Your absolute best and cheapest way to get your trans done and YOU get to do it yourself with professional guidance. If a trip north is out of the question, tallk to Mike about doing a So-Cal clinic. Hell I may even make that trip with him and spend a few extra days (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Call Ottos in Venice beach. He has done 3 boxes for me over the years. He is good and fast. He has all the parts.

Ditto on Otto's.
John can be a cranky fellow some days, but he certainly knows his stuff. |

I do 'em too, and I'm in Santa Maria. Lemme warn you, before it comes apart and no matter who does the work, cheap ain't in the cards. They usually need a couple of bearings, a coup[le of synchros, maybe some dog teeth, a first gear slider, and the parts add up REALLY quickly.
