 that this summer and can give you my findings. You don't need to spend more

 $800 for the tranny work including a gearing change and a full rebuild. We
only
 spent $300 for a good used tranny with the gearing we needed. Let me know if
you
 want to discuss this further.

Hi Matt,
        Yes I'd be interested to hear all about your gear swapping. The $800 plus was
a bit of a turnoff. At $300 I'm much more interested.
Thanks,
