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.)
