Wayne:
Depending on how many miles you have on the tranny, I would
agree that it should be at least checked.
I would recommend something slightly different though. I would
recommend that you check all the tolerances and replace only those
parts that are out of spec. A rebuild kit is generally expensive
overkill for a transmission that has been cared for, such as yours.

Subject: Transmission rebuild or not?
Dear Listers,
I am about to rebuild my engine, pulled out my transmission yesterday and
began looking through the Roadster Factory Catalog for part prices and I
noticed that they recommend performing a transmission overhaul as a
preventitive maintenance measure. Do you agree?

Should I rebuild the tranny or just replace the oil and gaskets?
