Not enough!!  75K miles.  I gave FAS the trans that came with the vehicle with no real issues and about 125K on it, to check out, rebuild, and put in a smaller 4th gear.  They had problems doing it and instead purchased a rebuild from ??.  I think I did not get a real good rebuild.  Case is worn.  I had to have a bushing made for the shifter input shaft.  Don't know if one was put in by the rebuilder or not.  We never found one.  Just a hole too big for the shaft.  Now, I just have to deal with it.Dave B.

Local (good) mechanic said we have to wait until it gets loud enough to diagnose.  It is getting a little louder.  Anyone want to offer an opinion on just what/where it is.
