'64 Gearbox

I just got a quote from a local tranny shop to rebuild my 3 speed from my 64 E100 and they want $1200.

My question is, how easy is it to rebuild the tranny? I basically just want to check it over and replace all the seals and gaskets etc.

I'm pretty savvy with mechanics, I was wondering if there's any kind of book available to show me how to do it, or if I should just leave it to the tranny shop?

Thanks,
Jack.

I went thru a 65 gearbox per the 65 Ford shop manual, to put in a new rear bearing, and everything else had to come out 1st before that bearing. no special tools needed, not a hard job.

Go for it! The top loader 303 is a little tricky but your 64 might be a side cover and they are easier. Just get a book or get info on line. $1200 sounds like the normal quote but I won't pay that price.

hehe 1200 bucks?? make sure u still keep ur pants ?? if u r even somewhat mechanical?? get a book & get inside it - also check all bearings & do replace any seals too!!

where can u get a gasket set for a top loader 3 speed i also want a front and rear seal

found the answer to my question in the wanted section thanks for the help
