There are parts of that transmission which can be repaired or replaced with out removing the trans. But if you could screw up the courage and energy to R & R it, you are still an awfully long way from being ready to over haul it. You wouldn't know where to start. I would think if you can R & R it, I would look hard to find one for sale that at least has a replacement guarantee. I think that is your best bet, and if you havn't pulled one yet, you are looking forward to a good education,
