Okay youse guys, you've convinced me to try it myself. In the past, I've found that there's nothing that I can't screw up if I put my mind to it. I'll get a rebuild kit and will check the swap meet section for the bearings. If nothing else, I think that Bowtie Bits sells rebuilt trannys. So if mine winds up with 3 reverse gears and one forward, I can always get one from him.
Thanks for the advice. I may be bugging you later for more advice and the location of a good liquor store in the area.
