As the title says I'm thinking of doing one or the other. Now as a little info the truck is my daily I have no other vehicle. I live in an apartment, but work at a dealership. So I have the place to work just I can't leave it overnight. It'll be the first time I've gotten the trans out of the vehicle and first time tearing it down if I go that route. I would only get about 6-7 hours in one day to rebuild it on a Saturday. On the flip side its the original one. It doesn't matter if it's numbers matching, because the engine was swapped from 305 to 350 in the early 90's by the original owner. I've got experience pulling and replacing trans at work, but not tearing one down for a rebuild. Also I doubt I have all the special tools, but could get them if I knew what I needed.
My question really is this. Do I rebuild or just swap in a new one? I'd really like opinions from people who've worked on TH400 transmissions before. Though any opinion is welcome.
Thanks!
