bad trans in an 86 monte
my friend has an 86 monte auto with a 305. He called me today and said he blew the trans. I haven't been able to see the car personally yet and diagnose the problem. He said it's a 3speed, so I'm thinking turbo400 but I'm just guessing.
So I'm entertaining two ideas, finding a replacement or doing a 5 speed conversion like he wants to.
So what I'm wondering is, what trans does this car have stock, and what kind of price in parts and difficulty am I looking at to do a stick conversion?
Thanks
Matt

I have an 86 with a 200C 3 speed (lock-up) trans. They call these disposable. No one will bother to rebuild them. I am replacing mine with a 200-4R (4 speed overdrive w/lock-up). Do some research to see what is in his car.
