I bought the 73 Firebird in 2006 from a local who bought it in 75 as his first car. He ordered a new corvette so to make room he put it up for sale & I went for it. Stats 1973 Firebird Esprit, delux int. AC, PS, PB, AT, 350c.i. , the car shows 126k and the transmission is the TH350 and the car is a survivor with drivetrain in original condition. I have verified that only normal maintenance a repaint 9years ago have been accomplished. I live in Idaho so our dry high desert climate and the car graged alot of those years kept it in very nice original condition and rust free. Can I replace the plastic gear in the transmission easily? Will I have a big fluid mess if I try to replace the gear myself?
