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....
