Hey all,

Oh the joys of installing used parts into a car...

Bought a low-mileage manual trans built by German Transaxle a couple years
ago.  Finally installed it this summer with a rebuilt motor into my '87.
It's now leaking gear oil and my mechanic says it needs a gear carrier
gasket.  A&P Specialties in Portland, OR is going to do the job, I think,
but quoted me 10-12 hours of labor.  OUCH!

Does this sound about right?  No idea how much work it is to fix this
leak.  For 1200 bucks, I could nearly get a new transaxle installed, no?

thanks,
Andrew
