Dominic--Make sure the rebuilder replaces the 3rd/4th clutch gear hub with the updated version. I'm sure he will repl both the mainshaft & pinion bearings as well because they are most always bad and probably your noise as well. When they heat the case for cleaning tell them to check the input shaft bearing in the case for movement while its still hot. Any end to end movement is a bad thing--green loctite it in if loose. Other than that the price sounds reasonable--Good luck Daryl of AA Transaxle |
