Soo, how difficult is rebuilding the SM465? I have an issue with popping out of 3rd gear often, and I'd like to get that fixed when I swap the engine out.
That's not across the board about the hump cover. My 88 model sqaure body (link in signature) was bolt in. I'm guessing cabs were made on different lines or something. It seems to be all over the place.
