You make it sound easy.
I watched the tech when my GN trans came out and was disassembled. I don't think I had ever seen so many parts and pieces come out of such a small enclosure. After all of those clutches and steels and misc. parts it kind of scared me away.
After doing my own work on nearly everything else, I've mustered up enough courage to attempt this. I just don't want to mess it all up and frankly, I'm tired of being at the mercy of the transmission shops because no matter how much I bluff, I think they know that I don't know enough to understand all of the intricacies.
I have a bone stock trans on one of the cars that feels like it's starting to slip slightly so I figured there's no time like the present. Just a complete rebuild with a mild shift kit to firm it up a bit... Sounds simple but I anticipate a disaster.
I've seen rebuild quotes from $2k -$3k. I know that there are various hardened parts available. I don't have a race car but would like to be handle a good amount of power just in case. Is there anything in particular I should be looking to do? (Ie: stuff I can skimp on and stuff that is a must)?
Thanks to everyone who has been responding. This is really very helpful to me.
