rebuilding an m5r1

[sjranger]

How difficult is rebuilding one of these? I've done motor work, mostly top ends, and set up numerous axles but I've never been into a trans. Figure on a full weekend I suppose? Anyone have any tips or pointers?

Thanks

My first (only) rebuild on an m5r1 transmission took 2 hours, not including remove/reinstall time. I only replaced the bearings, but was a complete disassembly / check.
