Larry,
What Did you learn about the Datsun transmissions ? Would you rebuild one at
home ? Or send it out ? How much does it cost to rebuild one ? Are there
things a person should do before installing a used transmission ? Change the
input shaft bearing as a matter of course ? Or just stick it in and hope for
the best ? I wish that I lived closer, and could have attended.
Thanks,
Mark Hanna ( Living in seclusion in beautiful Colorado )
