Seems like a good deal. Mileage is higher than some may want but the rebuild, IMS replacement, and other updates seem very relavant and add value.

Input and Output Shaft Seals -- grease or not?

My input shaft seal was leaking on my 99 Box 5 spd trans so I'm replacing the input shaft seal and o-ring. As long as the trans is out, figured I'd replace the output shaft seals as well since...
