Could be... at any rate, it's pretty easy to pull a tranny so you can get at the clutch. I have found clutch work is really pretty easy on these trucks is you have a decent place to work and a buddy or a jack to help you get the tranny down. A quick read at the library and copy a couple pages outta a Chiltons(or other manual) is helpful for a first time. The alignment tool is a good investment as well - a couple bucks at the parts store. If you've done this type of work before - ingore the crap I wrote and just do it!

LOL - you mean a$$ or even @$$... and yes they are. Same stink'n chevy had an intake manifold go bad early on ( they are known for that one) and now the tranny pump croaked. Dealer typically gets around 2500 for tranny job. I found a good rebuilder for 1800 or 1400 if I pull and install. sheesh - I 've been driving my 83 F100 for the last year on a weak AOD tranny ... when it's done I;ll probably go to the junk yard for 100 or so and put another unless I find a cheap donor truck with a 5 speed in it! I'M NEVER buying a new Chevy again!
