Yeah, my mechanic is going to send it out for a rebuild, but is checking on
the price for me first. He reminded me that he always recommending
rebuilding/replacing the starter when overhauling the transmision. It has
always worked perfectly since I bought it in '03, but then with classics,
something else always seems to bite it when you put something new or
repaired back into a car.
