I found the input shaft at a shop In Hayward CA. The shop has thousands of used transmissions. The part was $80.00 and a complete rebuild kit with new clutches was $275.
I will start the rebuild today, and have the shop in Hayward rebuild the torque converter on Monday. The cost to rebuild the torque converter is $245.
Including new fluid I should be at around $800.00 after rebuild.

That's a fact. But it's all the other parts required - driveshaft, front axles, shift mechanism, subframe, mounts, flywheel, clutch etc that add up to a lot.
Then throw in labout, it's not a cheap exercise.

true. it would be easier with the v6 since the shafts are all the same. Always forgetting the 1.8 uses smaller axels.

I'm having similar problems with my 2nd gear. Slippage in the low side of gear. I changed the radiator, as well as several other things in the build, so I've changed the tranny fluid.
Still there. to be honest i dont know if i would try to re build it myself....

The new reverse gear piston came today. I rebuilt the drum and all the parts will go in the transmission housing today.
The tool in the picture is the only special tool I used in the rebuild, this is to compress the spring cups. There are around 6 spring cups that must be removed to get to some o'rings that need to be replaced.
