If the rebuilder knows what he is doing he will replace all the wear parts &
any worn out hard parts & will bring all of the tolerances back to spec with
the right shims. You should not need to do anything but pay him.

ok, at the risk of starting a fistfight, I am having my 4-speed 091
transaxle rebuilt.  Any opinions on lubricant for this?  I am not big on
synthetics because they are not "backward compatible".
 
This transaxle would not go into or stay in first gear.  second gear holds
great but getting there is sometimes a little "iffy".  no other known
problems, but what should I think about having done while the case is open
that a rebuilder may not neccessarily do without asking?  Is replacing 4th
gear still an issue (popping out when worn)?  special synch rings?  anything
special?
