My truck has the m5OD and it isn't in very good shape. Hard to shift into second, fourth grinds every time, reverse grinds sometimes. This is after I refilled the transmission with one quart ATF then as much Lucas as it'd take, which did improve it slightly. When I was replacing the transmission fluid, there was a fair amount of metal in the fluid and a whole lot stuck to the magnet. Can this transmission be rebuilt to a near new condition? I honestly don't know what is replaced in a rebuild, so I don't know if the transmission is shot and should just be replaced, or what. If it can in fact be rebuilt to a near new condition, would it be worth the money? Or would I be better off just picking up a used transmission in better shape? I've been wanting to learn how to rebuild a transmission, but won't do it if it won't fix the problem.
