I agree Greg, but to add another good point, I haven't seen a stick trans yet from any car that wasn't just simply made up of gears, shafts and syncros, spacers, forks, bearings etc. etc. I have yet to see one that can't be easily fixed if you have the parts. Thats a big if. But if the parts are available, as you would know better than anyone, then it's just a fun job. 2-cents, Kurt
