Have a friend at work with a Chevy 3/4T, 350 V8, 5 sp'd (who says that I
don't appreciate diversity?) and when the HIGH QUALITY GERMAN gearbox went
squat it had to be replaced with one from the factory in The Fatherland.
No one could/would rebuild the sucker.

BTW, that tranny is supposed to use ATF instead of gearlube. Could one of
our engineers explain to us dummies why ATF or engine oil is specified for
transmissions instead of gear lube? The only experience I've had with
engine oil in trannies was in 2 stroke dirt bikes, and using Bel-Ray gear
lube recommended (by Bel-Ray) to replace the engine oil REALLY helped
shifting.
