depends on how average you are

 

what if you did all the work to build your own motor and installed all turbo components ex. after machine shop did there stuff. i installed pistons,rods, crank, head, cams, etc.. i can do measurements for cam to rocker arm spacing torque specs but can't (haven't tried) measuring for bearing clearances (rod or main)

 

like anything involved with the motor... you need some experience ... if your mechanically inclined then yes you can rebuild a tranny , but just make sure you have a helms there as there are a lot of pieces that need to be put together properly or your screwed.

 

can i do this


oh buy the way every shift into 3rd grinds and it sometimes kicks the shifter out of gear. not cool

 

Get the Helm's, read the chapter on transmissions. If you aren't worried after looking at it, I say go for it. Be ready to buy some tools, though, if you don't already own various pullers, measuring devices, etc.

 

is the helms available online???

 

Yes, if you search you will probably find a link.
