Hello,
I am in the beginning stages of rebuilding a '68 sprite shell using a '70 midget
as the donor for drivetrain, etc. Much to my dismay, when I drained the
transmission, most of the fluid was water. The drivetrain has at least 126k
miles on it, so I'm sure the tranny needs a rebuild. For a novice mechanic, am
I tackling something that should be handled by a professional repair shop, or is
this something that through patience and a good repair manual, can be done by
the newbie? Would I be better off looking at a five speed conversion? If a
professional mechanic is the answer (my feelings wont be hurt), can anyone
suggest a good shop in the upstate New York area.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion/advice. Many, many more questions to
follow.
