Has anyone here done a "back-yard" overhaul of their automatic (Mark VIII) transmission? Is it possible for a reasonably adept person to do this? As you know, I just replaced my '97 with a '98. After calling around to see if anyone would buy a rebuildable tranny and got laughed at more than once, then asking what an overhaul would cost (Then I laughed), I thought I'd at least open it up and look at it.
Mine was simply the clutch pack going bad. But if I was going to open it and replace the clutch packs, what more trouble would it be to do a complete overhaul?
Even if I open it and decide I don't have the knowledge, I can still get the salvage price on the thing, so I wouldn't be loosing anything. I wouldn't buy parts until I opened it and checked it out.
I know I should get a number of responses.....hit me!
