"Would someone with no mechanic experience be able to do that ATX rebuild from the pictures and such? I know a mechanic, but he wouldnt be able to do the rebuild, but could help me on specific problems I'm sure.. "
Can't say. But having someone nearby who knows what he is doing helps.
"How much would all the parts cost if I was doing the labor for that rebuild?"
From the posted link.
brtrautman,
"Well thank you for the great comments....I was getting a little worried during this rebuild when I kept having to get this part, this shim, this gear, etc. etc. eventually I got through it! Here is my cost breakdown on the trans rebuild. The only thing that is not here is that I decided tonight to replace my manual shift sensor - heck it is the only sensor I haven't replaced and it does look in bad shape. That will set me back about 40 bucks.
When I rebuilt this atx I wanted it to last another 8 years at least. That is why I replaced all sensor's, soloid pack,etc. I figure with the external oil cooler and external filter I should be able to achieve this. Even with my total cost, I still saved a bundle over taking it to a tranny shop --- besides they would not have probably come close to what I have replaced.
Before I start on the engine, I have been instructed to clean up the garage....I'll probably start on the engine disassembly next weekend.
