OK So here's the sad tale.
I just quit my job, and I was driving home from the dump the morning after I quit my job, when the transmission in my '87 Chevy R20 lost 3 and 4th gear. Nothing like driving the city streets of Richmond, VA in a truck that won't go over 25 miles per hour (Come to think of it, I wasn't the only one going that slow...hmmm....)
The xmission is a Muncie 465. Now, normally, I would drop the transmission myself, and then take it to a shop to have it rebuilt but, now that I have
A) Time
and
B) No money
I was wondering how difficult it would be to rebuild this thing by myself. I have rebuilt a rear end before, and that wasn't too bad. I own a 40 ton press, and just about every tool you can name, and in looking at the rebuild instruction in the haynes manual, nothing looks too bad.
Any advice? I am guessing that one of the shift selector pawls is broken, but as long as I have to take the darned thing out I might as well go for the full deal.
