Maybe Frank has the right idea!!!!!  Just picked up my Datsun transmission
from the Datsun Doctor.  Took it in and told him I didn't want to put it in
the car and then have to remove it again for some piddily 2 bit part.  Replace
the bearings, synchro's and seals.  Make sure it's right.

Here's the cost break down.

Release Bearing:         062-1117             $32.99

Michigan Sales tax                                    25.17

                                         Total             $668.52

Ya, "don't want to remove it for some 2 bit part".  The only part close to 2
bits was the Oil Drain Plug Gasket.  But on the brighter side.  What do you
think it would cost to rebuild a transmission in a BMW Z3
