Point is WITH the correct tools it's not that much worse than a manual trans. No feeler gauges, pretty much the torque wrench suffices. True we started with a clean trans with all new clutches, etc. nothing visably worn. Much of the upgrades mentioned on this board are available from mainstream suppliers like Dacco. Some specialized tools are MANDATORY, second pair of hands help. You might be able to do it to stand up behind moderate power.
That makes me feel better. Haven't done one solo, but I have assisted on several manual rebuilds. I'm willing to try an auto. Maybe I'll practice on my Metric-200 first just to get a feel for it though. Besides, the engine swap will be the last phase of the restification, so the tranny only has to hold up to the stock 305 for the forseeable future . . .
Are these books and videos mentioned enough, or would a factory service manual be in order as well?
