    SM 465 rebuild?

    I am not sure I asked this before and if I did I couldn't find the thread..... I was wondering what a ballpark estimate would be to get a SM465 transmission rebuilt? I know it depends on what it needs after it's opened up and all that but what trying to figure what I might expect. Also if...

    Window regulator

    My drivers door window don't roll up worth crap. The crank will turn about 80% of a revolution then stop, you have to back it up an inch then go back around and it stops again about where it did before. So rolling the window up is a long process of playing with the crank to get it to go up...
