Hey Daryl, The one you did for me is still working fine (I don't drive it many miles, but I trust your work). Everyone else, Trannys are one thing I won't touch myself. Too many specialized tools / tight tolerances / cleanliness required. If you're cheap, find a used one, and hope it lasts through your next long trip. Otherwise, find a reputable specialist to rebuild yours. (The other thing I don't do is mount/balance tires. Don't need it enough to justify the required expense for proper tools.) |
