Transmission Cooler Line fix 1972 C10
So I went to a mechanic down the street from me, and the transmission cooler line is leaking, and as well as the drive shaft carrier bearing is extremely worn out and I need a new one. With labor and parts and tax, is $350 a reasonable amount? Or is that way too much? I'm in Arizona by the way.
also a 2nd question, how hard would it be for me to fix the transmission cooler line myself? or is that something that you need to have special experience for? |

(including mechanical and every other task) is less dependent upon the job to be done than the person doing it. Give it a shot. It's not hard. Once you figure out where it's leaking. |

The trans lines should be an easy fix. You can replace them for not much money.
The carrier bearing it a bit more involved but nothing you could not do with help from the board here or a friend that has done it before... If you are going to take apart the drive shaft I would replace the u joints at the same time, and maybe have the shaft balanced. I did not have mine balanced and it turned out fine, just mark it and put it back together the same way... Also get u joints like the originals with the grease fitting in the body and not in one of the cups... I would think you could do the job yourself for under $200 and that would include all the parts and some of the tools like line wrenches and circlip pliers to do the job. |
