Well, the "expert" opinion is that the whining noise when I down shift into second is a bad transaxle. How hard is it to replace the tranny in an 84 bus? I have considerable bug experience, and those transmissions were easy to change! How different is it in a bus? Should I look for a shop to do this work? About what is it going to run me? and source of a newer tranny: rebuild my old? Junk yard? New? Rebuilt off of the shelf? and Can I put a five speed tranny in without any difficulties? help... I have a grad school road trip coming up really soon.... Sunny in California Matthew 84 weekender 67 Bug (hmm, maybe I'll take that on the road trip...) |
