Default Need info for Rebuild Toploader

Ok here it is : Good / Bad / Ugly

Good
I am getting ready to make some final adjustments to gear ratio to lift the body and send it off to get painted. I am now changing my mind to a possible Black with Silver stripes or Titanium with Black strips.

Bad

When lifting the body and at the body shop I would like to rebuild my tranny because it is leaking from the shifter linkage. This is the only place on the car that has a leak and it has an FE motor (knock on wood). The tranny works perfect but from what I have heard I would have to disassemble the whole thing to replace 3 o-rings. I am guessing since I have to go this far, I might as well get a rebuild kit and freshen up the whole tranny.

Ugly
I have never done this before and assuming that I can test the tranny before the body goes on the chassis. My kit does not allow me to drive the car in a go cart form so I would have to test it once the body is back and installed completly painted.

Can some shine some light as to any suggestions during this rebuild?

I am leaning more toward David Kee for the rebuild. However, Toploader heaven sells the tools and cd-r manual to rebuild the tranny with 7 day a week support.

Has anyone ever did this for the 1st time and used anyone of these companies?

Thanks
