My trans performs very well, but leaks. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Whats involved in breaking it down and replacing gaskets and seals? Cost of parts and new fluid?

How much does it cost to have a shop do it?

How hard is it to do yourself? Should I try?

My leaks too. I've cleaned it enough to see the leak is from the speedometer drive cable and somewhere near the top of the rear gasket or possibly the intermediate gasket. There's a thread somewhere on how to help seal that one. I chatted once with Andy about too.

Have you read the tech article on the bird board? as well as Red-beards (?) article on tranny repair. Looks easy enough. who's tried it?

Can't offer any more than that - I'm no guru either. But I'll offer my help when you try the repairs.
