Kirk, I think it is a good idea to have it rebuilt
One concern is the rubber seals. These datsun trannys are getting
close to 30 years old, and all rubber degrades over time.
It's a bit of work pulling the engine and trans. Might as well do it right.
Also a good time to change your flywheel ring gear while your in there.
