Next, a couple questions: 1) Approx. how much would it cost me to have a complete bearing replacement in the transmission of my 1980 Toyota Corolla SR-5 liftback w/5-speed? I was quoted approx. $300 for the job. Any suggestions out there? Is this a little steep? 2) The bearings in the rear end have started to hum. How much damage can I expect if I wait a few months to replace them? 3) I am going to adjust the valve lash in the car also. Now, this manual I have, published by Chilton, says that it is ok to do it with the engine not running, even though (and they admit) that Toyota recommends that it be done with the engine running. What is the difference between the two methods and will it affect my performance any? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
