Hmm. Never heard much on these being rebuilt because I think they are virtually indestructable(with in reason of course). That and a lot of people give them away or don't sell for much over $75. I know dirt track racers around here use them.

I'm the guy who rebuilt them. I get my parts from Standard Transmission (check their website).

I use a 72 model GM service manual for the instructions.

You'll need an 8 inch piece of 3/4 inch dowel rod to use as a jig to load the countershaft bearings with.
