.... the mechanic told me I needed to get the crankshaft repaired. Said
I could replace thrust washers but it had been his experience that with
that much wear they would just fall back into the oil pan. He suggested
pulling the crankshaft and having it "built up" at the point of wear.
This would only cost me $2,000. 

John---If he really took a look at this area of the crank and its case
to determine the wear to be excessive, then this could be trouble
indeed, Reports of cran damage from running bad, or no thrust washers
usually also damage the block. Was this also included in the cost? DT

John also asked:

Second question: I remember seeing discussions of putting a Toyota 5
speed transmission in to replace our original 4 speed. Of course I read
all these things and can't remember the where, when or who about it. 
Can someone refresh my memory? 

Anyway, I'm listening.
