Rebuild Tranny

[Viper5]

So what you're saying is that I won't be able to remove the gears from the box since it takes 10,000 lb to do so? That sounds like a lot. About 3 times the weight of the car in fact. You say it's the pinion bearings (I'm not even sure what those are) but I've been told by numerous people (including on this forum) that it is most likely a synchro issue. All I think I need is that synchro, but I was going to get them all replaced along with the clutch in the process. Thats what I understand the 3k to cover. Does this sound like a reasonable price? What about the pinion bearings that you mention and all the other parts. Is it worth just replacing everything?

I was under the impression that Vertex had rebuilt tranny's for our cars for less than $3000 but I can't figure out if their price of $3200 is before the core charge is refunded.

If you can take the huge core charge off their price, it's a lot cheaper than $3000.
