Transmission and....? Posted by Ken [Email] ![]() ![]() |
I have to replace the transmission (5-speed) in my 88' 8-valve with 210k miles. I have read about all the little things that you should do with the engine out, except that I've done most, if not all of them over the last year and half. Things like a-arm bushings, motor mounts, alt. bushings, crank seal, oil pump o-ring, crank pulley, etc. All done with the engine in place. A lot of fun, I can tell you!
I thought that I might take the opportunity to replace the power steering rack. Should be very easy with engine out. What about the timing chain/guides/tensioner? This is not a money-no-object project for me since I've already dropped $1400 on the transmission. Is it worth it to replace the chain now? The engine is actually running pretty good. Hate to mess it up. Anything else that I'm missing?
Thx
