for those in the know, how hard is it for someone who has never torn into a transaxle, but has a modicum of mechanical aptitude, to rebuild one? can it be done with standard hand tools and a bench or would the new tool investment make it more worthwhile to have brad build one up and ship it out east? just curious. have area available for work and would like to have a mechanical project, engine or trany, but not waste my time or rapidly diminishing $......
thanks....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |

I weighed all of the above and ended up buying a good used transaxle.
If you want it rebuilt using new parts you are probably looking at $1500. I talked to Brad Mayeur (nice guy) he quoted me much less, he uses used parts from core transaxles. He also wants the transaxle cleaned before you ship it to him. I bought a used transaxle from a guy in Dallas who had it posted in the classifieds here. It was $250 plus $70 for UPS shipping. Cleaned & re-sealed it before I put it in, works great. No more crunchy 1st & 2nd gear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |
