They are expensive aren't they?

Thats why I always recommend going with the local guy
if possible.  Not that I am sooooo busy that I can't squeeze
in another rebuild!

about 2 months ago, and saved me  about $600 over Weddle.
Parts replaced included 3/4 slider  hub, all (4) new syncros,
main shaft bearing, mainshaft  needle bearings, pinion bearing
plus clutch parts.  (Did  they leave anything out, Todd :~D.)

 Sounds like an excellent price for all that to me!  All you folks
down Steve's way in need of a trans should take notes.  They
replaced what I would have replaced during a rebuild so it sounds
like they have done this before!
