Transmission rebuild

The input shaft on the transmission on my 25 Star wobbles like a drunken sailor. I'm thinking of rebuilding the entire transmission. Should I try it myself or have someone else do it? Are there any gears, etc. available?

Do You own a car built by Durant? 1925 Star Touring

Re: Transmission rebuild

Hello Vince,
I rebuilt my transmission myselve and it is not that hard. The main bearings are still available. the rest is oilite bronze bushings.
It sounds like your splitshaft bushing is worn out.
The input and the output are connected via a bronze bushing. I will send you some pics.
