Does the odo actually work?

Dropping driveshaft, crossmember, unbolting torque converter from flexplate, dropping the trans...

Price on paying someone to rebuild it? $1000-1500. If you are asking if you can rebuild it, I already doubt your skills. Not to be a downer, but it is not like just changing brake pads.



Most of the labor on a rebuild at a shop is the actual removal and installation of the unit, figure that $300-500 easily. A full rebuild kit is around $300, plus/minus $50 or so.

I would not go through all that hassle just to only replace the reverse clutch pack then reinstall the trans. Since you are already in there you may as well go through the rest of it if you plan to keep the vehicle.
