Now I don't want the "15 minute Oil Cooler Seal" Replacement Hoax (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I have a grindy going into second gear and that is it. The gates are tight everywhere, linkage is great, bushings seem fine.

How difficult is it to go into the tranny and update some worn bits?

As a frame of reference, I have taken the engine out, did some fuel line and injector stuff, oil cooler seals, valve adjustments, exhaust and heating stuff...minor yet somewhat brave for a newbie.

I have no problems spending cash, but I would love to give this a go if it is do-able.

Please help me decide --> is it something I should do or farm out???

Cheers
