   First, let me say that I am immensely pleased to see this group!  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.  Replies via the net or by e-mail are
fine...
