rebuilding trans??

Heya,
Is it possible for one to rebuild a transaxle. I have a 64
transporter, great engine, bad trans, and no one around here knows
anything (rural mssouri)
I have heard a few things, like you have to have a jig, or special
tools, and just wondered if it's possible to do at home.Anyone have
experience with this?
thanks a bunch,
~wanda

No, you can't afford the tools and the steep learning curve just
to do one.

guess. there is a real lack of parts here in rural missouri.. even the
foreign parts guys don't have a cleu. have a good one!

Hi.I have repaired-not rebuilt-tunnel type trans,as in replaced the
obviously broken part.At that,it took three tries(the forks didn't want to
line up-still don't know why it worked the third time and not the first
two).Go with replacement,used if the budget is tight.
