This thread has just made me glad I learned how to build my entire drivetrain myself when I was a younger man.
Same here! I have friends that have had to have transmissions rebuilt this Summer and and it seems like 3-4 months lead time along with big $$$ out of pocket.
I can order up a kit and have the transmission rebuilt in a day for under $200.00.
I make it a point to learn how to do most everything myself and minimize having to rely on others.
