I rebuilt mine, it is a very basic gear so it's not hard to do at all, the 65 shop manual covers it very well. I got my parts from classic Muscle at oldmusclecars.com. I found that rebuilds were scarce and pricy, I even needed one of the gears which I found a NOS online by googling the original part number. As for changing the ratio, my opinion would be if you want a quicker ratio go to a variable power unit or its going to be a beast to parallel park!

Is it a DIY kind of thing? Where do you get the kit to do it? Can it be changed to a quicker ratio? What about prices? Thanks for any info Steve
