Haha! We pulled the old tranny, clutch, and flywheel is all. He's balking at the taller gearing in the hills of Riverside County. The car is not a DD, so he can take his time. Clutch was worn pretty significantly at 200,000 miles. Anyway he has time, since it's a project car. I tried to tell him he could just downshift when he wants more power, like I do. But I think he wants to use the existing tranny ($$). Apparently he just wants to replace the shifter linkage seal and the throwout bearing. That all starts to get close to buying a rebuilt though, no? Got advice on rebuilt 3.52 tranny sellers?
