Does anyone have a big ball park figure on what it costs to 1) rebuild a sideshifter on my own-not including beer and 2) what it should cost for a shop to do it? I could use the good Dr Evil as well. I am not looking for exact costs, just a range to work with. If I do it I will have to add about $500 for hooking up my wood stove in the shop. It is 25 F in the shop right now. Fingers no workee so good.

I had a couple of extra 901 boxes. I sent my gear stack to Dr. Evil and he diagnosed what needed to be replaced. I was able to harvest the sliders and a set of dogteeth from one of the extra 901's and send them to him. His labor was pretty cheap as I recall. I replaced all the seals myself.

Removing, shipping and reinstalling the gearstack was a piece of cake. He has a write up in the vendor section.
