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)

Hi Scott!

I think it depends how deep you want to go into it. The deeper you go, the more special tools required. Replacing 1st/Reverse or simply replacing external seals... no problem. Go for it. Brad can chime in anytime. I've never been farther in than 1st/R.

If I want my 901 rebuilt, I'll send it to Brad Mayeur in Illinois. He can repair your transaxle, or do one on an exchange basis.
