Hello out there,
I am going to have my manual transmission out for a couple months while I overhaul my engine and was curious how much it would cost to have it rebuilt?
I've also thought about rebuilding it myself, but not sure if I am up for it. You can get a rebuild kit for about 150 is it that much more to take it to a tranny shop and have them do the rebuild?
The tranny doesn't seem to need a rebuild-in fact it works without any problems, but it has a couple hundred hard miles on it and the previous owner did not change the fluid enough judging by what drained out when I got the truck.
I will probably just give it a good service and stick it back in, but this truck is going to become my daily driver, and if it is cost effective to install a fully rebuilt one then that's what I will do. Rather than have to do a major repair when this becomes my only vehicle.
