Transmission Repair

When I first restored my Caravelle, the transmission was functional, but had a significant whine in 1st gear and reverese. Eventually the whine becme lounder and then the would not stay in first gear without popping out. So I revmoved the transmission and had it rebulit, then I reinstalled it, and now my Renault drives smoothly and no longer sounds like a delivery truck!
