Does it need to be replaced and if so, can it be replaced fairly easily? I'm not sure that I want to try to repair this tranny if it's falling apart internally. Of course, if $50 in pars and a few hours of my time could take me another 2 years, I would rather do that that than overhaul the entire tranny for much more. Opinions and thoughts are still appreciated... - Aaron |
