							Good afternoon. 
				Ive seen transmission rebuild kits on evil bay for $300 is this something a diy enthusiast could tackle them selves? I have access to the genuine ford workshop manual and ive done things like basic engine rebuilds. Auto to manual conversions etc. Has anyone ever tackled this themselves or is it a specialist with specialty tools only thing? Thank you

							most ive done is oil pump replacement on a gearbox. 
				i pulled the output shaft and had a look at it and was like. nope nope nope. best bet would be get a broken box and have a play. but it does not seem like fun.

							Not something I would try myself. Too easy to stuff it up. 
				Give it a go if you feel game.  |
