If you need to replace the housing where the shifter bolts, you are
looking at a full tranny overhaul. It all gets disassembled strting at
the differential end.

Subject: sealing transmission

I've bought a transmission off eBay.  It came from Mass and has some
structural corrosion where the shifter bolts to it, which means that I
am going to have to replace the "end cap" or the cap that is nearest the
front of the bus.  I know the seals are available, but what all is
involved in pulling this housing off?  Anything going to jump out at me
that I can't put back in?

Thanks.
