How hard is it to rebuild this transmission? I'm going down the road and sometimes I here rattling in the transmission...

S

Not hard at all if you have the mechanical ability and the proper tools.

Where can I find replacement part to rebuild this transmission?

S

Check the universal joint(s) for slop or wear before you dig into the transmission. A little whine/rattle is normal for that trans.
