Ok so I've spent the last two/three days reading Glacier991's rebuild diary for the A4LD and Brian's Frankentranny diary. I'm seriously considering doing this to my X as my tranny is now giving me problems for the third time in 5 years. I've never rebuilt a tranny but am pretty mechanically inclined and this rig is no longer my daily driver so I don't care if it takes a long time to get this done. As a plus it will give me a good project to eat up my spare time (which I seem to have too much of at the moment).
I'm curious to know though how many different people have tried this and any positives/negatives to the rebuild. Any tips, ideas, or helpful hints are more than appreciated.
As a side note I probably won't be starting this till springtime (want to have the 4wd vehicle during winter in case of snow) but I want to get started on the planning and maybe parts gathering early on.
