Cracked my early (1990, 195k miles) H151 open because of small gear tooth in the filter. Having found where that chip is, what's the consensus on rebuilding these early transmissions? It ran & shifted fine before it was pulled for my swap. It looks to be in quite good nick as far as my eyes can see (folks more expert than me please chime in!). Bearings all seem tight, no damaged plastic or much in the way of evidence of heat related stress.
Is there a synchro upgrade for the early ones? For the $$$ & work involved should I just run it as is for another 100k then deal with it? I've always been a "while I'm in there" guy, but I'm into EVERYTHING: the body is now off the frame, the 1HD-T is half rebuilt and my budget is getting thin...
Here's the chipped gear. Rather small injury.
