i would love to do it, but thats time and money i do not have.
maybe sometime in the future.
Probably not if it's the torque converter. You probably can get a junkyard MT and new clutch for less than a rebuild. (The E4OD on my Ranger cost $2,400 to rebuild. Stupid me for not doing the conversion instead.)
